It seems like the answer is actually yes, then? Seems like it would be expensive but that is no issue with this thought experiment. OP didn't require High-res or directly-overhead, some caveats you added which constrain the problem more. But either way, it totally seems possible.

Heck, put up 100,000 satellites and use the same kind of tech Apple/Google/MS use in their 3D views of cities (it, they do take airplane and satellite photos at various angles, and use software to stitch together the separate pieces).

Seems totally possible to meet OP's request given money not being an issue.
