Public Database Sheds Light on Spy Satellites
An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
The United States has 413 satellites in space snooping for the government, checking on the weather and relaying the latest pop music, a new database says. That’s more than the 382 the rest of the world has spinning above the Earth.
The inventory, developed by the Union of Concerned Scientists and released Wednesday, provides details on some of the Pentagon’s most secret satellites, which may gather images in the dark or take high-resolution pictures from 12,000 miles (19,200 kilometers) away.
