Do we have any reason to think those numbers are accurate? If we don't know how many other countries have, then we obviously can't detect every single sattellite as it's launched, and the list could more accurately be described as "satellites nations openly admit to having."

i got the data:

 

Soviet Union 87 :)

United States 413 :cool:

China 34 :)

India 33 :rolleyes:

and there r 2 more countries i dont know which!

 

This information is in the wikipedia article I posed a couple of posts up.

 

 

Soviet Union 87

United States 413

Australia ?

France ?

Japan ?

China 34

United Kingdom ?

India 33

Israel ?

 

 

The question marks mean we don't know how many satilites these countries have in orbit, though it's certainly at least 1. Also, there are countries that claim to have satellites, but we don't have any proof of that. It's all in the wikipedia article I posted.

Urm soviet union? Not a country.

 

Also bear in mind that these days most satalittes are caloberations of countries, for example the ESA recently (or are about to) sent up equitment on an indian satellite.

 

The largest satellite earth stations in in Cornwall, UK, at a place called GoonHilly.

 

A better link, taken from the wikipedia references...
