For the satellite stuff we can use NASA WorldWind, right?
The maps, I don't know of any high quality good coverage free database
out there.

You make me wonder what all the maps and satellite images used for Google
Earth cost. That would be something worth having. But as far as I know this
stuff is so expensive that a more sensible approach might be to ask: what
resolution and age could we get for say $10 million? Not much, I suspect,
because it's expensive enough without a right to sublicense.
