As Adam points out, your satellite isn't just going to float there. It needs a lot of speed. That speed would have it moving "past" you really really fast until you got to about 26k miles up where it would remain still relative to you. If you wanted it to float at 90k' you would need a balloon or something like that but that's a loony idea.
