YOU! Really, you are actually radiating light as you read this, though mostly in the submillimeter range (THz) and FIR. Any object with a high enough temperature to transfer photons with other matter is technically luminous, though not always in the visible spectrum and not always according to the blackbody radiation curve.

Though if you're speaking more colloquially you may mean luminous as in "Radiating Photons that react with the rods & cones in primate eyes", that is to say luminous within the human visible spectrum, In that case anything that lights up is "luminous"; from the sun and other stars to bioluminescent algae and fishies to hot plasmas like a candle, a campfire, or a forest fire to LEDs, Lasers, Light bulbs and cold plasmas like the pixels in Plasma TV's.

Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?

Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects. Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
