The binding energy is equal to the absolute value of the total energy. The satellite has the total energy

<math>E = \frac{1}{2} U = -\frac{1}{2} {G M_E m_s \over r} = -\frac{1}{2} {(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(6 \times 10^{24})(50) \over 6.67 \times 10^6} = -1.5 \times 10^9 J</math>
<br><br>
Therefore its binding energy is <math>1.5 \times 10^9 J</math>.
