Not quite sure about population levels, perhaps that most likely only recover after technology has. Technology we are seeing anywhere between 15-30 years, so population could be said around 35-60 years (depending on which population figures you look at).

Nations will primarily focus on earth issues. I mean why look to send pointless satellites in space when you could be helping out survivor states and be gaining influence while doing so? Only essential communication satellites will be government's priorities, research satellites will not be sent for a while yet.
