The moon is earth's (9)

I believe the answer is:

satellite

(Other definitions for satellite that I've seen before include "Body that revolves around or serves another" , "Part of telecoms system" , "Celestial body orbiting around another" , "outpost" , "Heavenly body revolving around a planet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
