A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward action force exert an equal but opposite reaction force on the rocket. Satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward Earth, but because Earth is curved they travel around it.

What keeps the satellite in orbit Centripetal or electrical?

Centripetal force is what keeps a satellite in orbit around a celestial body, like Earth. This force is due to the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the celestial body. Electrical forces play a role in satellite communication and operation, but they are not directly responsible for keeping the satellite in orbit.
