Satellites moving at a high speed stay in orbit because

their inertia continuously steers them around Earth

gravity cannot act on objects traveling above a certain speed

Earth's surface curves away as gravity pulls them toward Earth

the force of gravity keeps satellites moving at a constant velocity
