Satellites operate through the use of gravity because the force of gravity on the satellite results in circular motion around the earth or any other celestial body, and if that force was too big it would cause the satellite to come crashing down and if it were too small the satellite would just go flying off into space

You can use matter or light to measure the force of gravity, because gravity distorts the shape of space around the gravitational body thus distorting the path that matter or light travels through that space.

GRAVITY!A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.
