63 Definition (Wikipedia) In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon. Lots of acronyms in space jargon (LEO, GEO, TM/TC, SRB, ADCS, EPS, BOL, EOL, etc.). An extensive list is available in Fortescue et al. p xxi 63
