Even if somehow that delta-v can be reached without burning so much fuel/energy that it makes any mid- to longterm mission fail, the forces on the satellite equipment which need to be withstood are insane. At orbital speeds it would just break the satellite/the craft unless there are some very special designs out there (?).
The typical pop-culture UFO shape, a saucer or a sphere, would be pretty good at distributing these forces across the "fuselage" I would guess, but internal systems are still affected. Anything with wings or solar panels would be toast, no?
