Пачеко отвратительно зарычал, а потом повел такую речь:

А как Вам такое?

In 1963, CORONA was supplemented by GAMBIT, a "close-look" or "spotting" satellite designed to target specifics areas. Thanks to its high-resolution Keyhole-7 camera, which could resolve upon objects as small as 18 inches long, GAMBIT was able to take photographs useful for detailed intelligence work, such as inspecting foreign weapons systems. After GAMBIT, the CIA developed HEXAGON, which could cover even more ground than CORONA and yet still resolve upon objects as small as 1 or 2 feet long. At the same time (the early 1970s), the Air Force developed the Defence Support Program, which placed a constellation of satellites in geostationary orbit around the Earth. Unlike their predecessors, these satellites contained infrared sensors as well as photographic cameras, which allowed them to work at night and/or despite the presence of heavy cloud cover.
