No.

Luminous means giving off light, and satellites don't do that. There's no one up there to see them so there's no point in wasting energy on lights.

They can reflect sunlight though.

Yes it does.

Most stars turn hydrogen into helium using heat (produced originally by gravitational contraction) at the core of the star.

This produces light and heat.

Most satellites reflect light, they do not emit it. They reflect sunlight.

Is it true that An atmospheric nuclear event (test) produces a unmistakable light flash characteristic of such events and detectable by satellites?

An atomic explosion will emit all types of energy including all kinds light, heat and radiation as well as a large cloud of debri. The light is bright enough to be seen from space. So is the heat (as infrared) radiation when viewed through appropriate equipment. No other ground activity can generate that amount of light and heat so the answer is yes, it does produce a unmistakable light flash characteristic of such events and detectable by satellites?
