In its most simplest form - going forward in time simply requires you to move "faster than time". For instance, when you jump aboard a high velocity vehicle (such as a jet) you're moving faster than time, so when you get off the jet you have aged less than those on the ground (although only by a .0000000001 of a second) -- this has been proved through experiments using an atomic clock.
You got it the wrong way round. Time runs slower relative to a stationary object as speed increases. The experiment you referred was probably the one where an atomic clock was mounted inside an SR - 71 Blackbird.

Satellites that use atomic clocks have to be calibrated because they run slightly slower than those on earth. Orbital velocity and their distance from the earths gravitational field both effect it in the same way.
