FWIW the NOAA polar orbiting satellites are used to image in visible and infra-red primarily for weather. I'm not sure if they are still functional but they broadcast on VHF and can be monitored as they go overhead. There have been quite a few articles written and software packages used to decode the output from the satellites and produce images if you're that way inclined.
