Space shuttle can only fly upto 500-800 km high. It is not possible for it
to recover or to repair any geostationary satellites. Is it because shuttle
does not have enough fuel or is it because of some other technical
problems for stationing space shuttle in such high altitude?

It is more useful for space shuttle to fly higher rather than worrying about
whether it can take off horizontally!
