There are a few different fields for satellite.  I had satellite 
specific QSL cards made up with the following fields:
Callsign, Day, Month, Year, UTC, Satellite & mode, Mode, RST, and QSL 
PSE or TNX
There is a picture of the card at:

Since I had to explain the "Satellite & Mode" box as a separate "Mode" 
box to the QSL card printer (he wanted to make sure that's what I 
wanted), I will do it here.  Satellite & Mode is which bird and the band 
mode that was used (mode A, B, J or in more modern terms, V/U, U/S, 
etc); whereas the "Mode" box is for the emission mode (i.e. FM, SSB, 
SSTV, etc).  I got mine from W4MPY, and he was happy to make a custom 
set of fields for me.
