      From classified spy satellites? No shot. Unclassified stuff maybe, or civilian satellites. But anything military and/or classified is going to be encrypted, so unless you know the key you may be able to intercept the data but not make an image.

      Nah, you can get images from weather satellites this way, they broadcast unencrypted/with old encryption that has been broken.

      Ain’t nobody getting a feed from a modern GIS sat, let alone an actual spy sat.

          Check out r/amateursatellites/ on reddit (sorry, I’m a refugee and unaware if similar exists in the fediverse yet), there are whole communities of people out there who listen to weather sats with antennas in their backyards, it’s fascinating.
