Spy Satellites Are Under Scrutiny
U.S. Director of National Intelligence, John D. Negroponte, is reviewing two multibillion-dollar spy satellite programs.
One is a new class of stealth satellites, whose estimated costs have nearly doubled to $9.5 billion in recent years. Members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have criticized it, saying its not effective against terrorist networks.
The other is a new generation of non-stealth space vehicles as known as the Future Imagery Architecture (FIA).
