Our Milky Way is an ideal local laboratory to test the standard cosmology and galaxy formation physics. The satellite galaxies of MW display unusual distribution in their spatial and kinematical properties. In this talk I will introduce the recent progress on three main problems of MW satellites: Great plane, missing satellite and too-big-to-fail. I will also present an analytical model to study the evolution of MW satellites.
