well, d'you mean satellites as in moons and stuff? or satellites like the 1st one ever, Sputnik, which was launched by the Russians. Artificial satellites and man made ones would be the same thing. There are also, I believe commercial satellites, weather satellites and others. NASA has scientific ones I believe. So it depends on what kind of satellite you're talking about.

Take a look at
http://science.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/3d/JTrack3D.html
They show you a picture of the Earth with hundreds of satellites - I don't know if they will list them for you.
