Amateur radio satellites refer to any artificial object in Earth orbit that are useful for amateur radio purposes.

This tag covers all amateur radio communications with man-made Earth-orbiting objects, including communication over dedicated amateur radio satellites (AMSATs) and with astronauts aboard a space station such as the International Space Station (ISS).

It does not cover reflecting signals off passive, natural objects such as Earth-Moon-Earth communications (EME) or meteor scatter.
