There have been about 8000 man made objects launched into space - only a handful left Earth orbit. Some have decayed and reentered. There are about 3000 satellites currently in orbit. Only about 1000 of those are active. But there are other objects, too, such as spent rockets. Some objects have broken apart because of collisions. There are about 20,000 objects in orbit that are 10 cm in diameter, or larger.
GPS stands for Global Positioning System. The system is made up of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth. The satellites communicate with specialized receivers on the ground, providing the exact position of the receivers. As of this writing, there are 31 operational satellites in the GPS constellation. Put in place by the US military starting in 1989, the GPS satellite constellation transmits a signal for its own use and a separate signal that anyone with the technological wherewithal is free to access.
