Jonathan McDowell's Starlink statistics: launched, in orbit, working, reentered
The independent ledger of the Starlink constellation, updated several times a day by astronomer Jonathan McDowell: 12,962 satellites launched, 11,154 in orbit, 11,139 working and 1,808 reentered or failed as of 21 September 2026, broken down by generation and by launch. The citation-grade source for constellation size.
CelesTrak: orbital element sets for Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper and every constellation
CelesTrak, run by Dr. T.S. Kelso, publishes the general perturbation element sets (TLE, OMM, JSON, CSV) for every tracked satellite, grouped by constellation: Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper, Iridium NEXT, Globalstar and more, plus operator-supplied supplemental data. Free, updated continuously.
DataMiner Starlink Enterprise connector: NOC monitoring of Starlink fleets
Skyline's DataMiner connector polls Starlink's Enterprise Telemetry API every 60 seconds and the Management API for usage and activation, giving a NOC per-terminal signal quality, throughput, alerts, service lines and 12 months of data usage. Versions 1.1.0.x support API v2.
LeoLabs Space Platform: live LEO visualization and conjunction search
LeoLabs' browser visualization of low Earth orbit, built on its own radar network: search the catalogue by satellite or constellation, watch today's conjunctions and follow launches. Free to open, commercial data behind it.
Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO constellation, explained by Eutelsat (video)
Eutelsat's own 2.5-minute explainer (July 2026) of the OneWeb constellation: 600+ satellites in 12 polar planes at 1,200 km, Ka-band gateways and Ku-band user links, sold to enterprises, governments, ships and aircraft through distributors rather than direct. Context: the September 2026 order of 229 more satellites and the IRIS² transition.

Questions about the resources
- What is in the LeoSatNetwork resources section?
- Tools, datasets, official reports and videos we reviewed for the satellite connectivity sector: Starlink monitoring scripts, orbital data such as CelesTrak, tracking maps, SpaceX's own performance report, spectrum policy briefings and constellation explainers. Each entry carries our own write-up: what it is, what you can do with it, who it is for, and its limits.
- Are the resources free to use?
- Most are: the open-source tools, the orbital datasets, the videos and the official documents cost nothing. Commercial platforms (a NOC connector, a managed service, a space-tracking platform) are marked as such in their write-up, with what the free tier includes when there is one.
- How do you choose and check a resource?
- We keep a resource when it answers a practical question for a buyer, an installer, a reseller or an analyst, and when we could verify it on its source on a stated date: repository activity, publisher, publication date, figures. Dead links and low-value videos are archived rather than left in place.
