Yes it is in free fall because gravity is the only force acting on it. (no air resistance)
Satellite pictures of Earth are taken by a camera mounted on a satellite in orbit, high above Earth's atmosphere. They are transmitted wirelessly over satellite signals, much like satellite TV.
Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.
Satellites are typically found in the exosphere, which is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere. This region extends from about 500 km above Earth's surface to beyond 10,000 km. Satellites in low Earth orbit may also traverse the thermosphere and ionosphere.
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps

the satellite was 1500 feet above the atmosphere of earth

A satellite.
how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface
As the biosphere is contained entirely within the troposphere (lowest layer of the atmosphere), an astronaut in orbit is far over 100 miles above the highest portion of the biosphere.
its above the earth. it is one of the layers of the atmosphere.

The atmosphere extends about 600 kilometers (373 miles) above the Earth's surface.
