I wonder how hard it'll be to capture some of these images yourself.
NOAA decommissioned it's last LRPT/APT capable satillites.
Russia has a couple open access 137MHz sats available Meteor M2-3 and M2-4 I believe they have become flakey with age, damage and other issues.
Those you could stand in your garden with a simple vdipole antenna and a cheap SDR to capture images.
Is this satellite geostationary?
Yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTG-I2
Are the images made available in realtime anywhere?

Somehow I thought this was going to be about a trading card game release.
