Satellite is an uncommon Joker that gives $1 at the end of each round per unique planet card used in the run. By default players can earn up to $9 from it by using all available Planet Cards and an additional $3 can be earned by playing and unlocking the three secret hands (Five of a kind Flush House and Flush Five).
Each planet card only needs to be used once in a run to count for Satellite. Black Hole whilst sometimes available from a Celestial pack is actually a Spectral card and will not increase the $ gained from Satellite.
Synergies
Jokers
🃏 Since Satellite is maximized through the use of Planet Cards it synergizes with Constellation which gains x0.1 Mult per planet card used.
🃏 Satellite benefits from Astronomer which makes planet cards and planet packs free.
🃏 Showman can have anti-synergy with Satellite since it will allow duplicate planet cards to appear and Satellite requires unique planet cards.
🃏 Smeared Joker can make it much easier to unlock the secret hands thereby maximizing Satellites value.

Balatro has 11 Stickers that can be applied to Jokers or Decks. Stickers can be Stake-based indicating previous wins with this Joker or they can be one of three stickers that have in-run effects. The player cannot manually apply or remove any Stickers.
