Earth has at least five co-orbital asteroids, including 3753 Cruithne and 2002 AA29.[197][198] A trojan asteroid companion, 2010 TK7, is librating around the leading Lagrange triangular point, L4, of Earth in Earth's orbit around the Sun.[199][200]
As of 2011, there are 931 operational, man-made satellites orbiting the Earth.[201] There are also inoperative satellites and over 300,000 pieces of space debris. Earth's largest artificial satellite is the International Space Station.
