Original Note:
Satelites DO get hit with space debris and collide with other satelites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_satellite_collision " The expected annual cost of satellite collisions with orbital debris was $86-103 million in 2020" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2468896723000022 You may get lucky and see one with the appropiate equipment yourself and take photos. https://www.heavens-above.com/Satellites.aspx?lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT
