In the latter, just landing a troop or having a ship in the orbit should be enough to buy such a building.

I like the idea of being able to drop off a scanner "module" at a planet in the enemy's area and let it say passivly scan troop movements.. etc.. with a chance of being noticed by regular scanners.. or somthig... but you would either have to make it a componant on one of the ships that is destroyed after use or has to be built by a ship yard ship etc.. kinda like a spy satalite...
