What is the probability that the satellite will hit someone in the US?

The phrase "the satellite" implies that you have a specific satellite in mind. However, you have not stated which satellite and so it is not possible to answer the question.

It is almost certain that a satellite will hit someone in the US over the next few billion years - although the country may not be called the US then!
