Are these on earth or in orbit?

Will this transfer degrade the intelligence capabilities of the National Reconnaissance Office, or are these units obsolete?

Lots of questions.

Not just that. These are (presumably) telescopes designed for visible-light surface surveillance i.e. 100-200km. What kind of modifications will they need to be useful for long-range astronomical use, where distances are going to be measured in tens of lightyears and imaging in other spectrums?
