While a Kill Sat can be called the sword, the Save Sat can be called the shield. This is when a satellite, intentionally or accidentally, crashes into something and helps out the heroes, either saving the protagonists from the Big Bad's superweapon by crashing into the control unit, tipping off the heroes that a huge ship is parked outside earth orbit by the sudden cut in communications, or by providing a distraction to buy the heroes time to think up a plan. Different from a Killsat since a Save Sat usually rams into something, and different from a Colony Drop as the satellites in question are usually smaller and usually help (or harm) the heroes in their quest instead of causing mass destruction everywhere. The Save Sat can be anything from a humble communications satellite to a space station. This can quite possibly be a rather literal example of Deus ex Machina (a miracle that saves the heroes at the last minute, without being properly set up in the story) and Death from Above (falling objects that are fatal). |

Battleship: The aliens' communication ship collides with a random satellite orbiting Earth while traveling at interstellar speed and crashes into Hong Kong. Sure, it's bad for the Chinese, but the fact that the aliens don't have a ready means of letting their homeworld know that Earth is ripe for the taking is the only reason humanity even has a chance. | |

Metalocalypse: In 'P.R. Klok', a big P.R. plate Dethklok brought into space (a satellite in the loosest sense of the term) collides with and diverted comet that is about to fall on a spot where Dethklok is performing. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: In the English dub, Kaiba sets the Industrial Illusions satellite to crash into their mainframe, bringing down their computer defenses and allowing him to access the data at Duelist Kingdom (in the Japanese version, he's just using the satellite to hack into the mainframe.) | |

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig: In the final episode, the Tachikomas ram the satellite containing the A.I.s into a nuclear missile to save the lives of their comrades on the ground, all while singing a happy children's song that symbolizes that they've finally learned of the concept of death, and aren't afraid to die for a good cause. | |
