Hi Richard, that is something that you would set in Arches. It's very simple:
Open your the media/js/map/base-layers.js file in your app. At the bottom you should see something like: baseLayers[0].layer.setVisible(true);. The 0 in that line corresponds to an index position in the list of base layers that you can see a couple of lines up. To change from the first (0) to the second (1) layer in the list--the satellite layer--just replace the 0 with a 1. That should do it!
