Started in 1997 with: RS-10 V/H AO-16 packet and later voice RS-12 V/H
Got serious with AO-40 using mode U/S.
UO-14 V/U FM ISS U/V repeater mode AO-7 U/V and V/H SSB FO-20 U/V SSB FO-29 V/U SSB, didn't try the BBS SO-50 V/U FM AO-51 V/U, L/U, but mostly on V/S VO-52 U/V SSB DO-64 U/V SSB SO-67 V/U FM HO-68 V/U SSB
Currently AO-73 U/V SSB AO-85 U/V FM AO-91 U/V FM AO-92 U/V and L/V FM XW-2A, B, C, and F U/V SSB CAS-4A and B SSB
Listened to many more and sent in reports. Occasionally got a QSL card back.
Missed out on AO-10, AO-13 and SO-35. Too far from the equator for IO-86.
Total talked through is 24. Most QSOs made have been through AO-40. Most for a LEO is with AO-51. AO-91 is the most popular at the moment.

struggled with AO-85 - FM SO-50 - FM
having great time with AO-91 - FM AO-92 - FM (V/U only)
initial SSB learning with FO-29 - SSB VO-52 - SSB
easy SSB sats XW-2A - SSB XW-2B - SSB XW-2C - SSB XW-2D - SSB XW-2F - SSB
very loud SSB ones CAS-4A - SSB CAS-4B - SSB

I only mentioned MIR as a reminder that would be one that you could add to the list. MIR was the first space contact that I made, and at that time I started gathering equipment and planning my station. The station didn't come on board until I had time after retirement to put it all together. And many thanks to Gene W4IMT for pushing me to get my station up and running.
Thanks Patrick for checking and asking me.

Steve,
I think you may be missing Paul's question. Paul wasn't asking for us to make a list of all satellites. Paul was asking about the satellites we have worked. For some, that list would include Mir, AO-10, or AO-13. For others, the list would probably have only the newer satellites, with possibly AO-7 from the 1970s or FO-29 from the mid-1990s in the list.
I have worked you on SO-50 and the 3 Fox-1 (AO-85, AO-91, AO-92) satellites, going back to 2016. You mentioned Mir. Have you worked any other satellites, in addition to these 5?
73!
