Very interesting, but one question....
At 45 kilometers, how do you know where to point the telescope to find your subject?
Well, drones and Alexa weren’t bad enough now this!
Privacy is pretty much dead.
So that is what is going to be in the next Huawei P40...
Can it resolve an image of my middle finger being raised at them?
Some people look much better from 45km away...lol
i.e. Jerry Nadler
This sounds as though it is using the terahertz technology used in spy cameras. They function in the gap between microwave and infrared.

Korean porn ping?
My darling wife is from China and I have been there with her visiting her family, you are always being watched.
Photograph some UFOs now.
There are no secrets.
You are a criminal. I am a criminal. EVERYONE is a criminal.
Everything you fear about government surveillance is true. Passive surveillance is everywhere. I have seen satellite photos that could tell what book someone is reading. Every device that could listen to you, does listen to you. Going off the grid? Believe it or not you are still tracked by your heat signature.
Paranoid? I wish. I first saw these technological wonders back in the 1970’s at the National Intelligence Academy in Fort Lauderdale. It has gotten much, much worse since.
Basically, if someone in the government wants “dirt” on you, they not only can get it, they already have it. And if you think you are some kind of saint, your loved ones probably aren’t and will be used against you.
I wish I had a solution...but any way around observation has already been thought of by someone smarter than you and addressed.
What is sad is that people have given up privacy willingly. Any mobile phone can be a tracker and listening device. Ditto smart watches. Voice control on your TV? Always listening. Voice commands in your car? Recording every conversation you have and storing it on NSA servers for future reference.
We are living in Orwell’s future, and most don’t know or care. Sad.
Electric Eye - Judas Priest
Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you’ve private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can’t feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don’t know I’m there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
Theres nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Range gate cameras have been around for 30yrs+/-.
This camera won’t work in the US. We don’t have kilometers here.
