Try this code, make your drawable variable global and change your satellite function like this:

private void satellite() {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      ImageView imgView =(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.satellite);
      new yourTask().execute();
}

then create asyncTask class like this:

private class yourTask extends AsyncTask {
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        //show a progress bar
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Integer... params) {
        drawable  =  LoadImageFromWeb("http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/wb/sat_images/satellite.gif"); 
        return 0; 
    }      

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        imgView.setImageDrawable(drawable);   
    }
}
