Well it was a camera in the sky for many years until satellites took over that roll.

“Well it was a camera in the sky for many years...”

Yeah, a few. But cost and training became an issue more than better services from space and the program was fazed out, a couple of times. Basically they were paying twice for the same needs. The U2’s as we write here, are still in service but they are scheduled for retirement in 2026. Same reasons. And satellites don’t need el caminos.
