No.
Satellites can't really be made that large or they won't go into orbit effectively.
The satellite you're probably referring to is the US spy satellite that is being shot down. It is not responding to commands and will not attain the correct orbit. To prevent the military secrets from getting to other countries, the US is going to shoot it down and retrieve the parts.
Another reason for the shoot-down is ostensibly the use of a hazardous substance on board.

Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to Earth because they are beyond the pool of Earth's gravity?

What will happen to time period of simple pendulum if taken to satellite?
A simple pendulum will not swing when it's aboard a satellite in orbit. While in orbit, the satellite and everything in it are falling, which produces a state of apparent zero gravity, and pendula don't swing without gravity.
Why geostationary satellite not falling to ground?
Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.
What would people want to know about the satellite falling?
The most useful thing to know about a falling satellite is where it is going to strike. That way you can avoid being hit by it.
