'some satellites' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'country finally has a model' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'land' (synonyms).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'model' becomes 't' (Ford Model T car).
The final letter of 'has' is 's'.
'land'+'s'+'a'+'t'='LANDSAT'

'for' is the link.
