"Satellite" is a song by American rock band The Hooters, which was released in 1987 as the second single from their third studio album One Way Home.
Hyman told Simon Mayo for the Reading Evening Post in 1987: "They're a strange combination of religious concepts and satellite technology both up there in the heavens.
[5] Cash Box considered the song a "driving pop/rock" track that "should continue" the band's success in the Top 40 and on AOR radio.
[6] Music & Media wrote, "Captivating and epic piece of rock with folk overtones through an accordion and a Big Country type of lick.
[8] In a review of One Way Home, David Fricke of Rolling Stone described the song as a "powerful pop KO of TV pulpit pounders", with its "core riff" being "a metallic jig figure – sort of Boston meets John Barleycorn – fattened up with iron-fist guitar chords and Close Encounters synth effects".
