Hello,
as info for other people we use opengeoserver-tiles already in
Wikipedia's OSM-Gadget as optional Satellite-layer.
I see opengeoserver-tiles of aerial images in the same category like our
hillshading tiles from Toolserver, which are also looking for a new
home. Both kinds of tiles need only static storage because they are not
updated in the way of OSM-tiles. A grouping like metatiles could be
useful.
About what a volume of images we are talking in the moment, how much can
it be in the future? (I know we could get some terabytes of Landsat from
NASA.)
As described above I see this tiles in an other category than OSM-tiles,
but the status of new OSM-Servers can be found at:

Hi Sumana!
I'm the guy working at
opengeoserver.org mentioned in [0]. The funding
from Wikimedia Germany for the current hardware will run out at the
end of the year. So I would like to say hi and ask about the current
WMF OSM Tileserver status?
I wouldn't consider opengeoserver to be production ready an a
Wikipedia kind of scale, but I would love to keep the server alive
within e.g. the WikiLabs infrastructue.
