Lets say one of our satellites were to crash on an Earth- like planet with life similar to ours, who have accomplished interstellar travel. Now, I know the possibilities are endless, and the chance of a satellite crashing (especially on an Earth- like planet.) is so very unlikely, but I want to see what you guys have to say.

Take the Voyager probe for example. It is the farthest man made object from Earth. We can say with almost 100% certainty that it will never crash into a planet in another solar system because of the low odds of such an encounter. Even the US and USSR missed the moon several times. Just in case the probes are ever encountered by an alien intelligence, golden records were placed onboard, similar to this one:

Discrepancies in Q & A as well.
1. Voyager is Space Probe not satellite (all things launched by rockets aren't).
2. Solar = 'of Sun'; other planetary systems are not to be called 'Solar'.
Please use correct nomenclature to save us from confusion. Pl. note that "terminological inexactitude" is a Sin.

Satellite as in moon, or satellite as in spacecraft?

Besides the fact that it'd burn in the atmosphere first?
