Pretty much continuously!

Explanation:

It depends on the type of satellite, and whether you mean a particular ONE satellite or all of the satellites in aggregate. With modern transmission technology the number of pictures (or video) that can be taken, sent or streamed is essentially unlimited.

Now, ACCESSING any or all of those pictures may be another matter, as much of it is restricted.
