<p align="center"><strong>** Updated 29 June 2020 **</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Latest changes </strong>(see below for
earlier changes):</p>
<p align="left">(30 May 2020):<strong> Iridium 96 (27376,
2002-005E) decayed on 30 May 2020. </strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Summary of current Iridium constellation
status:</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Iridium Next: <br>
</strong>75 satellites have so far been launched , and all
orbital planes are now complete.<br>
6 further satellites (Iridiums 174, 177, 178, 179, 181 and 182)
remain as on ground spares.<br>
On 24 June 2020, Relativity Space announced that it had signed a
contract with Iridium for up to 6 launches of the on ground spare
satellites as needed between 2023 and 2030.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Original Iridium:<br>
</strong>A total of 95 satellites were launched; none now remain
operational.<br>
- 65 satellites have been de-orbited (retired) following
replacement by Iridium Next in 2017, 2018 and 2019. 61 out of
these have so far re-entered (decayed). It may be many months
before the rest decay.<br>
- 25 satellites failed on-orbit and can no longer be controlled.
It will be many years before the last of these decay.<br>
- 3 satellites rentered between 2000 and 2002 after failing to
reach operational orbit.<br>
- 2 failed satellites were deliberately deorbited in 2001 and
2003.</p>

There is now also a summary of <a href="iridfail.htm">Iridium
Failures</a>.</p>
