- jacobr1 4y agoDidn't we do that with hubble? We built 1 hubble, but many more "hubble-like" spy satellites and found out about them when they were donated back to nasa to put toward civilian use.

The satellites which were donated to NASA by the NRO where likely leftover from the abortive Future Imagery Architecture program which was unrelated to Hubble.
