Nick has already said it. Simply use Hubble's aperture size to calculate resolution of the KH-12. The FAS website used to have lots of neat stuff about military satellites but they pulled most of that after John Pike left (don't know why).

        Is that why the Hubble's mirror was shaped wrong? - Lee - 9/8/2004 5:26:32 AM
        
        I believe it was the NIH factor - Gary - 9/8/2004 5:39:28 AM
        
        Ranks up there with the standard/metric conversion screwup on the MCO. (n/t) - Lee - 9/8/2004 5:46:14 AM
