Most imaging satellites are in sun synchronous orbits so likely in this case moving north or south and slightly retrograde e.g. west.
I'd bet orbital motion is negligible here because the distortion seems to the eye to be entirely in the direction of the plane's apparent motion vector and I don't see any significant skew to that.
