Weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration-g. In space g is zero, hence weight is zero but mass is same as that on earth.

But since its orbiting around earth some gravitational pull is acting on it.
So its weight should be near to zero or less than that on earth.
So its weight should be near to zero or less than that on earth.

Sir satellite is also moving around the earth so weight is entirely dependent on gravity. So gravity is less at space so weight is less than earth.
