No, the HST orbits at 570 km above Earth (and not 36,000 km as the geostationary satellites do). It flies round Earth (= one orbit) in 97 minutes, the speed is about 28,000 kilometers per hour.

If the satellite appears to move in the sky by more than a few tenths of a degree during that time, then it is not in geostationary orbit.
