Hi Pete,
So, you're probably not intending to have this be a trick question... The oldest one that's still working is Oscar-7. The oldest one that's still in orbit is - hmmm, not sure. I know the very first ones, Oscar-1, et al, as well as many many more modern ones stopped working long ago, but how many of them have re-entered?
Then there's the Moon (Oscar-zero)...
