Good point! A satellite is more likely to orbit a planet monitoring things I guess? It's been a while since I've played Kerbal Space Program.

Satellites are objects orbiting a planet or some other smaller object. One could argue that it is a satellite on the way though too.

I find the idea of an object like the moon doing a gravity assist around Jupiter to get to us very amusing.
