Jonathan McDowell's Space Report

 * List of every single orbital launch


 * Status of every orbital launch (date reentered)'''

NSSDC

 * The go to for scientific missions. Their information is usually accurate.

Aeronautics and Astronautics

 * There are publications for every year. They are great for in-the-moment summaries of satellite news.

Gunter's Space Page

 * He's pretty accurate and has lots of stuff.

Russian Space Web

 * Anatoly Zak is reputable.

Astronautix

 * A standard reference but he doesn't show his work, and he's sometimes wrong. I use him when there's nothing else (and there often is nothing else), but if you can, find another source.

Scientific Satellites

 * A great book with outline info on a lot of satellites. Has the virtue of being online.

Vanguard -- A History

 * Great book on spaceflight from end of WW2 through 1959. Has the virtue of being online.

Drew ex Machina

 * Lots of great articles on many spaceflights AND he shows his work (and even gives out scans of sources if asked)

Satellite tracking

 * Some prefer the site Heavens Above.

NASA ADS

 * invaluable for looking up research results, which also often gives info on the satellites themselves and who worked on them

archive.org

 * A lot of NASA SP (special publications) are on here
