Patrick,
Considering Earth has some 10,000 satellites circling it, you would think the scientific community has already defined what size a satellite is. Unless you mean moons ;)
Pet peeve alert! <grin>
"Moon" (or Luna) is the name of Earth's satellite. There is only one Moon. Calling all natural satellites "moon" is like calling all members of SLAS Guy.
