China's military satellites
overhead24 follows 369 working satellites that GCAT classes as military and gives to China: 266 in low Earth orbit, 35 in medium Earth orbit, 45 in geostationary orbit, 21 in other geosynchronous orbits and 2 in highly elliptical orbits. In the last 30 days the event log recorded 106 orbit changes and 4 approaches involving its military satellites. On 21 October 2026 they were predicted to pass over the fighting in 36 conflict areas 7,306 times, most often over Iran.
