Scale the whole scene down? Just because you've modelled a satellite at 
1 unit = 1 inch doesn't mean you can't just "scale 0.01" it ;-)

Fake it, scaling down the planet and moving it closer to compensate?

Render the planet separately using a spherical camera, and then using 
that as a sky sphere?
