Pretty sure you need powerful lenses to do useful things though, but who knows, maybe this is workable with some image processing of multiple satellite feeds?

Yeah, I'm sure somebody is already doing good work on whatever the photographic equivalent of Synthetic Aperture Radar is. They should call it Synthetic Lens Aperture Photography, so they could use SLAP as the acronym (the most important property of a research topic is of course the ability to come up with good titles).

For example:

SLAP BASS: a Synthetic Lens Aperture Photography, Bandwidth Augmenting Sensor Suite

Does it make technical sense? I have no idea. But it sounds cool!
