Unless you think there are thousands of satellites clustered together and every one of them is trained on the Ukraine at just the right moment.

If there were that many satellites together, the cluster would be visible from the surface as a small moon.

Besides, the U.S. has already said that they have evidence of how the jetliner was brought down. It's much more conceivable that Putin, in his 'wisdom' in letting the situation spiral out of control, is responsible for giving heavy armaments to a rag-tag bunch of Crimean yahoos.
