I don't think you can get a live feed of a location since the satellites generally aren't geostationary (geostationary orbit is too far away, and are always above the equator). But AFAIK even commercially you can get still photographs of any point on earth within a couple days (i.e. you don't have to be a nation state or have your own satellites)

a live feed to follow something would 99% of the time be implemented from a HALE (high altitude/long endurance) group 4 size UAS. RQ9 or in the same class, with a combination of a high end gimbaled camera system and satellite data uplink.
Geostationary is very very far away and useless for nighttime. Imaging satellites usually have a shorter polar orbit that precesses east to west along with sunshine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun-synchronous_orbit
