The USA's military satellites
overhead24 follows 234 working satellites that GCAT classes as military and gives to the USA: 134 in low Earth orbit, 43 in medium Earth orbit, 30 in geostationary orbit, 25 in other geosynchronous orbits and 2 in highly elliptical orbits. In the last 30 days the event log recorded 165 orbit changes and 3 approaches involving its military satellites. On 21 October 2026 they were predicted to pass over the fighting in 36 conflict areas 3,016 times, most often over the Russian Federation.

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.
