一句话看懂
SpaceX's Starlink passed 11,000 satellites in orbit on Aug 19, 2026, its 100th mission of the year. Active satellites now total 15,711, with Starlink making up two-thirds.
背景
Since 2019, the number of active satellites has surged nearly eightfold, driven by SpaceX's Starlink megaconstellation. As of June 2026, 15,711 active satellites orbit Earth, with Starlink accounting for 10,365 (65.97%). The rapid deployment raises concerns about light pollution and space traffic.
