... OTOH, what restrictions are there on ISSonauts wrt receiving requests from their government to take pictures of whatever? The cameras on ISS don't have the ability to take images showing anything more than a major city; with no details of what is within that city. |

How do you know this? Have a look at the pictures taken by the astronauts - and the television images - no detail at all. They can barely take pictures of the eye of a massive hurricane/cyclone, let alone anything of military significance. Unless, of course, someone is suggesting 'hidden' cameras on some module or another; but I doubt anyone other than a CT would be stupid/obsessed enough to say that. |

Not to mention the fact that spysats also orbit the Earth at a much lower altitude ~120 miles or so, also a 32"/800mm lenses wouldn't give you the resolution of a modern spysay either. |
