A satellite of Earth can move only in that orbit whose plane coincides with the plane of the equator of Earth. The 3-d plane passes through the center of Earth.
The reason is that when a satellite moves with a velocity v, there is a central force F = GM m/R² = m g' acting on it along the radial line. But the satellite of mass m bends into a circular orbit. It is because Δv or acceleration is towards the center of Earth.
The center of the circular orbit of the satellite is the center of Earth. Hence it moves in the plane parallel a plane through the Earth containing center of Earth.
