KH-12 Improved CRYSTAL

created by Blackavar

(thing) by Blackavar (1.1 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Sat Nov 13 1999 at 9:21:29

One of the Keyhole series of IMINT satellites. This is generally what's going up when the Space Shuttle has a secret mission. Imagine a Hubble Space Telescope with a maneuvering thruster and pointed at the earth. The KH-12 uses image intensifier tubes and advanced optics, for an estimated resolution of 10 centimeters. The KH-12 uses digital imaging relayed through the TDRS instead of the film used in older Keyholes.
