No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.

Is there gravity where satellites are at?
Yes there are enough gravitational forces to keep the satellites orbiting earth.
What are current evidences about earths sphericity?
It is the Picture of the Earth taken at different angles from the orbiting satellites.
The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?
The Sun's gravity keeps the planets orbiting the Sun.
Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
What are the different artificial satellites launched into orbit?
The different artificial satellites launched are Low Earth Orbiting Satellites for Remote sensing, Medium Earth Orbiting Satellites like GPS , Geo Stationary Orbiting Satellites for Communication and Molnia Satellites again for Communication. These are the different artificial Satellite orbiting the Planet Earth.
How many of the orbiting satellites are US satellites?
90000
What is gravity's effect on the universe?
It keeps the planets orbiting the sun The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes tides on Earth, And satellites
Does callisto have satellites orbiting it?
No, it does not.
How many satellites orbit Saturn?
there is no satellites orbiting Saturn
What happens to old satellites?
Old satellites orbiting near the Earth eventually fall back into the atmosphere and burn. Satellites orbiting farther away stay in orbit indefinitely.
Does a satellite orbit earth free from earths gravity?
No. Gravity is responsible for all 'orbits'. If there were no other body attracting it, the orbiting object would sail off in a straight line.
What were the US satellites?
There are over 1000 operational satellites orbiting the Earth, and probably 10,000 pieces of "space junk" also orbiting the Earth.
