NASA has a really cool animated version that allows you to click on any satellite and see a brief on the Sat (launch date, type, orbit inclination, altitude, country of origin, etc.). I have the site bookmarked. :-)
This was told to me in the early 70s by a man with ties to the military side of our space program — that the Russians had a Cosmonaut in orbit who they could not retreive. The Americans were monitoring the radio communications and (or so this tale goes) listened to the panicing flyer as he pleaded with Soviet ground control to save him. Eventually the Cosmonaut ran out of air and died in orbit.
Have never been able to find confirmation. The guy was probably pulling my leg (?).
Interesting.
