- 03:1503:15, 15 July 2022 diff hist +26 2012 National Reconnaissance Office space telescope donation to NASA Text said telescopes were "built AS reconnaissance satellites" which is importantly misleading - the telescope optics did not come with satellites, and in order to use them you needed to build the satellite, at a cost of billions. They were built FOR reconnaissance satellites - not the same thing at all
