The sats capable of high resolution photography are not very high up. SAC shared the same sats with the CIA, NSA, Navy, DOD, etc. To maneuver them into a precise spot sometimes takes several orbits and consumes a portion of the finite fuel used to change positions. Yes, I am a little better informed than the avg citizen, however the experts (like those in Russia) could tell you exactly where each one is at almost any moment. BTW there is close to 30,000km dif between geo-synchronous orbit and that of an optical spy sat. Stuntman
