Located on Sadie Canning Drive on the southeast corner at the Goldfields Highway end. The Satellite Drive-In opened on 1st March 1960. The drive-in was called Satellite because it was so far out of the town and because satellites were in the news at the time. The drive-in was closed in 1983 and demolished in 1985 and the land passed back to the Shire of Leonara(which it was leased from), and cleared back to being bush(except for the ramps which are still there).
