Depends, a lot of satellites are close enough to Earth that there’s still barely enough atmosphere to cause drag and deorbit the satellites given enough time, and they all need some flavor of orbital maintenance. Although there are the various probes we’ve sent out and the rovers too, possibly with some flavor of blinky light on them.
