Anyone know of a satellite that is not expensive? Some of the amateur radio satellites are quite inexpensive. And of course back in the day Echo-1 did not have a lot of complex and expensive electronics ;-)

or maybe it's working beautifully and we don't want people to know that it isYep, maybe they do not behave at all like normal satellites. Are the parked over a enemy country or do they orbit? Maybe they are killers.

>>>NASA decided that the shuttle would not be used for classified military missions anymore. Only civilian missions.
Since NASA gets its funding from the federal govt, it doesn't make any decisions unacceptable to said govt. If NASA has gotten out of the military space business, that only says to me there is a working alternative that we don't talk about.
