The mass in orbit around another mass is referred to as a satellite. This can be a natural satellite, like a moon, or an artificial satellite, like a spacecraft. The gravitational pull of the larger mass keeps the satellite in orbit, balancing the gravitational force with the satellite's velocity. The specific characteristics of the orbit, such as its shape and altitude, depend on the masses involved and the initial conditions of the satellite's motion.

Is the space shuttle a space probe or a satellite?
A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore the solar system and transmit data back to earth.A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet.By these definitions the space shuttle is not a space probe and is only sometimes a satellite.

Normally it is called a 'launch vehicle.'
