I know that I can look at the latest L1 Data Quality Report to see a list of satellites which are currently active in the PlanetScope constellation. Is there anywhere I can see a list of all satellites that have ever been in the constellation?

Thank you for your reply ​@elyhienrich .

The documents in the post that you linked above list 152 PlanetScope satellites. Does this mean that Planet has launched and operated a total of 152 Doves since PlanetScope was created, including the Dove Classic and Dove-R satellites which have been decommissioned?

The reply by Mariana has all the link to historical satellites as well! :)

Using the information in Mariana’s reply, the earliest TLE file I can generate is for 2020-05-01. How do I find information on satellites before this date?
