We will give background for satellite constructions of links and concordance. Then, we will describe some results about the relationship between the two, in particular detailing how satellite constructions are a fruitful way to produce topologically slice knots. We will sketch some of the basic ingredients for proofs in this area, and finally survey some relationships between these ideas and the theory of topological 4-manifolds.
