If you have a satellite contract then you gain whatever the contract says.

If the satellite has science parts then you can use it to generate science. You can add extra parts to a satellite beyond the contract, it won't affect the contract.

In Career Mode leaving a satellite in orbit round a planet or moon makes it easy to do contracts for "Science from space around".

In Science Mode that does not apply, so putting a probe in orbit is often no better than flying one past. Once you have the "Gravioli" experiment that is good to put in orbit.

After you place the satellite and complete the contract, you can move it somewhere else. So you can place your satellite and then go to nun or minmus and get science there to return to kerbin.

If you have an antenna you can transmit any science back to kerbin
