全球卫星和航天器的速查清单-V1.0-20231021

是美国空军授予美国称号的卫星和航天器的列表。自 1984 年以来，这些名称已应用于大多数美国军用卫星，并取代了早期的OPS名称。

截至 2022 年 6 月，美国已为 331 颗太空卫星分配了名称。运载火箭和任务航天器之间并不总是存在一对一的映射。在维护错误做出该假设的记录时，这有时会导致空白，例如 USA-163 的“缺失”条目（对称地，与“分裂”航天器轨道的混淆是同时代的）。

Indian (ISRO) National SATellite (Insat) series: [complete]

In addition to their communications function, a subset of the Insat series carried remote-sensing equipment that allowed them to act as weather satellites. (The subset of Insat [with meteorological instrumentation] are hightlighted in yellow and are found on the geostationary weather satellites page.)
