Satellites is the third and final studio album from Scottish pop band The Big Dish, which was released by East West in 1991. The album peaked at No. 43 in the UK Albums Chart and remained in the Top 100 for two weeks.[2]

The album spawned three singles; "Miss America" reached No. 37 in the UK Singles Chart, providing the band with their only UK Top 75 entry. The follow-up, "Big Town", reached No. 94 and the third single, a remix of "25 Years", failed to chart.[2] After the disappointing sales of Satellites, "Big Town" and "25 Years", East West dropped the Big Dish in June 1991, and the band decided to split soon after.[3]
