Each GEODSS site tracks approximately 3,000 objects per night out of 9,900 object that are regularly tracked and accounted for.

The oldest object tracked is Object #4 launched in 1958.
The International Space Station deploys spacecraft using the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD), the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD), Space Station Integrated Kinetic Launcher for Orbital Payload Systems (SSIKLOPS), or the Nauka MLM experiments airlock module.
Two crewed space stations, the International Space Station (ISS) and Tiangong, were in operation in 2023.
