NOT the low-earth orbit birds...the BIG ones 23,000 miles out.
The access to that data would be addictive for the 5 eyes nations intelligence agencies.
They would do anything to maintain access.
It is very Trumpian to use this as leverage!
Thank you God for Donald Trump!

What possible advantage is gained by moving your observation platform 22,000 miles further away? Geostationary does not offer an advantage for optical because the LEO birds can easily track a moving frame of reference. At that distance the diffraction limit is not your friend.
For synthetic aperture radar a high ground speed is essential.
I don’t get it.
I went back and re-read this post after reading your further “speculations” in #34.
Thank you for this education!
It makes total sense that PDJT is “dealing” with the duplicitous Five-Eyes allies in this way.

Oh ... and all supercomputers more than a few years old are obsolete anyway.
