The analysis

The claim is specific, empirical, and testable. Retrieved papers [0] and [1] directly discuss space-borne inverse synthetic aperture radar (SBISAR) methods and concepts specifically designed for high-resolution imaging of on-orbit satellites. Paper [4] discusses space target surveillance constellations for observing space objects. These sources directly support the premise that space-based platforms can image other orbiting satellites.
