since the centripetal force on the satellite at any instant is directed towards the centre of circular path and the displacement at that time is normal to the direction of force on the satellite.

The satellite moves around the earth in a circular path.
The gravitational force of the Earth is the centripetal force.
Then at every point of the circular orbit, centripetal force act on the satellite at right angles to the direction of motion of the satellite, θ = 90º.
We Know, W = F s cos θ
= F s cos 90º
= F s (0)
= 0 ...✔
