The following statement is true that is the satellite has an acceleration directed toward Earth.
A satellite orbits the earth in a circular orbit at a constant speed and moves in a circular motion. In a circular motion, the direction of motion changes continuously. The speed changes when the direction changes. The change in velocity over time is called acceleration.
The centripetal force causes centripetal acceleration. In the particular case of the Earth orbiting the Sun or of a satellite orbiting a celestial body the centripetal force that causes motion is the result of the gravitational pull between them. Therefore, no additional work is required to move the satellite because the centrifugal force balances the earth's gravitational force acting on the satellite.
