According to the Wired news site, the Advanced Defense Projects Research Agency (DARPA) has released information about the new space telescope design plan called MORIE , which can beat all devices of the same type. moving on orbit.

The MOIRE program focuses on redesigning traditional telescopes into a satellite in space, larger in size but lighter in weight than any previous satellite image.

With compression size when launched as a 6-meter-diameter calyx, the complete MOIRE release size has a diameter of up to 20m at the time of locating in orbit 35,400km above the ground.

For ease of comparison, the Hubble glass is equipped with reflective glass with a diameter of 2.4m.

From its orbit position, the MOIRE can cover up to 40% of the Earth's surface at the same time, and record high-resolution images and videos, turning it into the No. 1 spy satellite. gender.
