For satellite you’re talking about taking the same surface on earth from different angles as the satellite orbits ?

No. I mean pointing the camera in a fixed direction as the satellite orbits, so it scans a strip along the surface of the Earth. This makes the rays parallel across the field of view (in the movement direction), so it looks like the camera is infinitely far away.
