Satellite functors are a specific type of functor in category theory that allow for the construction of derived functors from a given functor by applying it to the homological context of complexes. They are particularly significant in understanding how derived functors extend the notion of functors to account for chain complexes and their derived categories, facilitating deeper insights into homological algebra and its applications.
