Why is it masculine?
Satélite is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "satelles" (a guard or attendant), which is masculine, the word entered Portuguese primarily through Neo-Latin scientific terminology in the 16th-17th centuries with the -ite suffix (from Latin -ita), which typically preserves masculine gender in Portuguese when applied to this type of learned vocabulary. The masculine gender was maintained through the scientific nomenclature tradition.
