WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will buy and operate one or two commercial imagery Satellites and plans to design and build another with more sophisticated spying capabilities, according to government and private industry officials. The Satellites could Spy on enemy troop movements, spot construction at suspected nuclear sites and alert commanders to new militant training camps. The Broad Area Surveillance Intelligence Capability (BASIC) satellite system will cost between $2 billion and $4 billion. It would add to the secret constellation of Satellites that now circle the Earth, producing still images that are pieced together into one large mosaic. A single satellite can visit one spot on Earth twice every day. BASIC's additional Satellites will allow the photos to be updated more often, alerting U.S. government users to potential trouble, humanitarian crises or natural disasters like floods. The announcement of the BASIC program, expected this week, has been delayed for months, with Pentagon, Air Force, and National Reconnaissance Office officials fighting over who should be in charge of buying, building and operating the Satellites. They have also debated whose needs the system will cater to: senior military commanders or policymakers in Washington, D.C. At stake was not just money but power: billion-dollar budgets are up for grabs, and the agencies' traditional missions and way of doing business have been hanging in the balance. The ...

A paradox of spacewatching is that some of the most secret of Satellites are also the brightest and easiest to see. This is true of the US Lacrosse craft, perhaps because they are thought to need huge solar panels to power radar dishes by which they map the ground. Now they have been joined near the 700km height by Cosmos 2441, also conspicuous and believed to be the first in a new line of Russian Spy Satellites. The Soyuz-2-1b rocket that launched it on July 26 is brighter still and in a more eccentric orbit, its height varying between an apogee, or high point, of 672km and a perigee of only 199km. Atmospheric drag at the perigee is causing the apogee to fall, currently at the rate of about 2km each day. Before long, perhaps in December, it will decay from orbit and burn up. Our BST predictions show the rocket tracking northwards in our evening sky. Asterisks flag the directions in which it emerges from eclipse as it climbs through a height near 350km.

A British company known as Surrey Satellite Technology is making Satellites that are smaller, cheaper and easier to build, which it hopes will open up the orbital market to new interests. About the size of a refrigerator (and looking a bit like one ), the Satellites cost around $10 million — which you may consider a deal next to more sophisticated, $500 million Satellites — and weigh only 220 pounds and take 18 months to build. Five Surrey Satellites will go up into orbit this month on the back of an ex-Soviet rocket in Kazakhstan. They will be capable of gathering images of Earth that could be used for, "among other things, evidence of agricultural fraud, illegal oil dumping, the impact of natural disasters and likely deposits of minerals." So with just a bit of cash, small businesses and even individuals could have their own Satellites in space. The Guardian , via Dvorak Uncensored , via Gizmowatch ...

Wired has published an interview with Trevor Paglen , photographer and "experimental geographer", whose most recent work features a collection of 189 photos of officially non-existent Spy Satellites. In taking these photos, Paglen is trying to draw a metaphorical connection between modern government secrecy and the doctrine of the Catholic Church in Galileo's time. "What would it mean to find these secret moons in orbit around the earth in the same way that Galileo found these moons that shouldn't exist in orbit around Jupiter?" Paglen says.

Google Maps can't always remember where in the world war-torn Georgia is , but the Googlers behind it did not in fact hide road maps of the country — they were never there to begin with, according to product manager Dave Barth. However, satellite imagery from the region is, which might have proved useful to South Ossetian and Georgian troops. (Russia, which is supporting South Ossetia's independence, has its own network of Spy Satellites.) Both satellite photos and topography would be just the thing for planning, say, an armored column advance or in identifying industrial and civilian targets for sabotage and terror, respectively. While the photos aren't current enough to track enemy movements, the detail at the lowest scale is certainly good enough for a sniper to find a roost near Josef Stalin's birthplace for instance. And if anyone needed road maps, then they could have just used Microsoft's more Caucasus-complete Live Maps . Just imagine what separatist guerrillas could have done with Street View! ...
A sampling of the online news sites from Brazil finds that the Brazilian media are treating the Olympic loss, in women’s soccer, as a national tragedy. Brazil lost to the USA : 1 - 0. The statistics are cited: Brazil advantage in possessions: 58% of the time Brazil advantage in shots: 16 to 11 Brazil advantage in corner kicks: 14 to 3 However, the statistical advantages did not produce a gold medal. There is speculation that the defeat will slow the development of women’s soccer in Brazil. Perhaps this is simply a temporary reaction to the bitter disappointment of the loss. It would be a setback not only for Brazil but for international soccer, if the loss delayed the development of women’s soccer in that country. Brazil brings such athleticism, creativity and artistry to “the beautiful game”. Today, though, Brazil is mourning its Olympic defeat.
