Military class, mission and country: GCAT by Jonathan McDowell (CC BY 4.0). Working means CelesTrak lists it as operational, partly operational, backup, spare or on an extended mission, or it launched after CelesTrak's last list. Orbits, orbit changes, approaches and geostationary positions: worked out by overhead24 from Space-Track.org elements. Conflict areas: UCDP.
