      Album information


      Satellite produced four singles, each of which received a music video; "Alive", "Youth of the Nation", "Boom", and title track, "Satellite". All four music videos were included on P.O.D.'s VHS/DVD Still Payin' Dues, released on November 12, 2002.

      To promote Satellite, a sampler CD with the songs "Alive," "Boom," "Masterpiece Conspiracy," and "Set It Off" was released by Atlantic Records in 2001. In a 2001 interview with Billboard, drummer and backing vocalist Wuv Bernardo said about Satellite:It’s just more mature. Some of the music is slowed down a bit. There’s more emotion going on.
      Satellite was certified triple platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) on August 26, 2002. "Alive" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Although not released as a single, "Portrait" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 2003 Grammy Awards. "Youth of the Nation" also earned a nomination in 2003 for "Best Hard Rock Performance".

      In July 2021, lead vocalist Sonny Sandoval said about the album:With Satellite, we wanted to be more universal, and we wanted people to be able to listen, relate and interpret what they get out of it.


      Reissues


      On July 29, 2002, a Limited Edition reissue of the album was announced. It includes a new front cover, three extra songs on the CD, and a bonus DVD containing video footage of four live songs and a behind the scenes video titled "Into the Satellite". Satellite: Limited Edition was released on August 27, 2002; only 100,000 copies were produced.
      A CD-exclusive reissue containing both Satellite and The Fundamental Elements of Southtown (1999), the band's third studio album, was released in Europe and South Africa on August 4, 2008. The reissue includes the bonus track "Whatever It Takes".
      On June 9, 2021, a remaster of Satellite was announced for the album's twentieth anniversary. The 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition includes a second CD with one dozen bonus tracks and remastered audio; it was released physically on CD and digitally on September 3, 2021. The bonus material on the remaster consists of the three extra songs from the 2002 Limited Edition CD, "Rock the Party (RTP Remix)" (from the Japanese version of the original Satellite album), "Critic" and "Youth of the Nation (Mike$ki Remix)" (both from the Australian and European "Satellite" single), the instrumental song "Sabbath" (from The Warriors EP (1998)), "School of Hard Knocks," and four previously unavailable demos, which include the songs "Armageddon," "Hold You Again," an alternate recording of "School of Hard Knocks" called "Don't Try to Play Me Out," and a demo recording of "Ridiculous".
      A vinyl version of the remaster came out the following month on October 8, 2021. The vinyl reissue of Satellite does not include the extra songs from the CD and digital versions of the 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition.

      When discussing the inclusion of bonus content on the remastered version of Satellite, Sonny Sandoval stated during an interview in September 2021:We had demos, we had all kinds of stuff, so we were like, "Okay. For that real fan that actually cares about that stuff, you know, let's, let's throw it in there and kind of do a double album, double disc."
