List of passive satellites is a listing of inert or mostly inert satellites, mainly of the Earth. This includes various reflector type satellites typically used for geodesy and atmospheric measurements.

Passive satellites[edit]

Dedicated laser ranging satellites[edit]

This section is an excerpt from Satellite laser ranging § List of passive satellites.[edit]

Several dedicated laser ranging satellites were put in orbit:[13]

Mostly passive satellites[edit]
