A satellite can be launched into orbit simply by launching it out of the Earth's atmosphere. To do so, the object will need to reach escape velocity, calculated by the formula v = sqrt(2GM/r), where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, and r is the distance from the center of the earth.
