But they do have a satellite.

As I recall it is of sufficiently high resolution that the take goes first to the NSA, who then filters it down to what is allowed for NGA's.

Didn't Keyhole also own a satellite, which Google would have taken over when the bought the company?


I think you are probably mixing up your Keyholes wink

The Keyhole that Google bought wrote what became Google Earth.

There were a series of US spy satellites called Keyhole.

I don't believe the two are connected.
