    The satellite with the greater mass is being pulled toward Earth with greater force

    than the satellite with less mass is.

    But if they're both orbiting Earth at the same distance, then they both orbit in the

    same time. That's how "space walks" work. Even though the astronaut has a lot

    less mass than the Shuttle or the International Space Station has, they're both

    orbiting Earth at the same distance, so the time it takes both of them to orbit is

    the same, and the astronaut can float beside the spacecraft.
