As we learn 

Shape of orbit of satellite -

If V<V_{o} , then satellite does not remain in it's circular path rather it traces a spiral path and falls on earth

V=V_{e}

satellite move along parabolic path 

- wherein

V=V_{o}

Satellite revolves in circular path

V>V_{e} 

Satellite will move along a hyperbolic path

 

 V < V0 then it will move in spiral path and falls on the earth.
