"The KH-11 replaced the KH-9 film return satellite, among others, the last of which was lost in a liftoff explosion in 1986. It is believed to resemble the Hubble Space Telescope in size and shape, as the satellites were shipped in similar containers. Using a powerful 2.3-meter mirror, the theoretical ground resolution with no atmospheric degradation and 50% MTF would be roughly 0.15 meter (6 inches). Operational resolution would be worse due to effects of the atmosphere. Different versions of the KH-11 vary in mass from 13,000 to 13,500 kilograms. Its length is believed to be 19.5 meters, and diameter is 3 meters or less."
Azonos gyarto, azonos meretek, azonos tavcso, azonos tudas, azonos telepitesi modszer. Ezek alapjan jo esellyel egyforma rendszerekrol van szo, csak a Hubble kevesebb uzemanyagot es tubb muszert vitt magaval. Az utolso KH-11 inditas 1990-ben volt az sts-36 kereteben. A hubble-t az sts-31 vitte magaval. Ket evvel kesobb atalltak a modernebb KH-12-es sorozatra. Most valoszinuleg az egyik meg fent levo KH-11-es akar visszajonni...
