There are 13 countries which have the capability to launch satellites to orbit. Those are:

Soviet Union / Russia

United States

France

Japan

China

UK

India

Isrel

Russia

Ukrine

Iran

North Korea

South Korea

--note--

The above information is incorrect.

The Soviet Union does not exist since 1991. Russia and Ukraine inherited their space facilities from the former Soviet Union. Britain and France launch satellites under the aegis of the European Space Agency, which also launches satellites for many other countries. South Korea does not have an indigenous satellite launch ability at this time. Private corporations SpaceX and Orbital Sciences have been launching satellites for years.
