List of GPS satellites
As of 6 November 2020, 76 Global Positioning System navigation satellites have been launched, 31 of which are operational, 9 in reserve, 3 being tested, 30 have been retired, 2 were lost at launch and 1 launched on 5 November 2020. The constellation requires a minimum of 24 operational satellites, and the typical number active is 31. The GPS receiver needs 4 satellites to work out its position in 3-dimensions.[1]
SVNs are "space vehicle numbers" which are serial numbers assigned to each GPS satellite. PRNs are the "pseudo-random noise" sequences, or Gold codes, that each satellite transmits to differentiate itself from other satellites in the active constellation.

Numbers in parentheses refer to non-operational satellites.
Once launched, GPS satellites do not change their plane assignment but slot assignments are somewhat arbitrary and are subject to change.
Cross reference of PRNs to satellite blocks
The following table is for the purpose of making it possible to determine the block associated with a PRN by looking at one column in one table rather than having to search through all rows of three tables. Thus this table can be used to quickly and easily determine the number of satellites in orbit and health associated with each block.

PRN to SVN history
This section is for the purpose of making it possible to determine the PRN associated with a SVN at a particular epoch. For example, SVN 049 had been assigned PRNs 01, 24, 27, and 30 at different times of its lifespan, whereas PRN 01 had been assigned to SVNs 032, 037, 049, 035, and 063 at different epochs. This information can be found in the IGS ANTEX file, which uses the convention "GNN" and "GNNN" for PRNs and SVNs, respectively. For example, SVN 049 is described as:
BLOCK IIR-M G01 G049 2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2009 3 24 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2011 5 6 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIR-M G24 G049 2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2012 2 2 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2012 3 14 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIR-M G24 G049 2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2012 8 9 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2012 8 22 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIR-M G27 G049 2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2012 10 18 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2013 5 9 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIR-M G30 G049 2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2013 5 10 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM
whereas for PRN 01 the following excerpt is relevant:
BLOCK IIA G01 G032 1992-079A TYPE / SERIAL NO 1992 11 22 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2008 10 16 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIA G01 G037 1993-032A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2008 10 23 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2009 1 6 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIR-M G01 G049 2009-014A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2009 3 24 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2011 5 6 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIA G01 G035 1993-054A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2011 6 2 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM 2011 7 12 23 59 59.9999999 VALID UNTIL BLOCK IIF G01 G063 2011-036A TYPE / SERIAL NO 2011 7 16 0 0 0.0000000 VALID FROM
