I believe satellites are usually in an orbit. They can’t follow an carrier for example. The satellites may be in a constellation that can track the carrier. That is why anti-satellites weapons have been developed. E.g., a jet fighter flies straight up and then fires a long range missile.

Do you think a carrier can very far in the couple of hours it takes for a satellite to orbit around the Earth?
