[5] [24] A NASA history of the Hubble, [25] in discussing the reasons for switching from a 3-meter main mirror to a 2.4-meter (94 in) design, states: "In addition, changing to a 2.4-meter mirror would lessen fabrication costs by using manufacturing technologies developed for military spy satellites". Different versions of the KH-11 vary in mass.
A few up-to-date reconnaissance satellite images have been declassified on occasion, or leaked, as in the case of KH-11 photographs which were sent to Jane's Defence Weekly in 1984, [3] or US President Donald Trump tweeting a classified image of the aftermath of a failed test of Iran's Safir rocket in 2019.

The second batch of images revealing the contact binary, shared by NASA on Tuesday, were taken six minutes later from 1,010 miles (about 1,630 kilometers) away.
Frosch responded on September 6, 1977 indicating that NASA was "inclined to agree with your recommendation" if there was funding for "a panel of inquiry such as you suggest" with a "NASA project officer to review reports of the last ten years and to provide a specific recommendation relative to any further inquiry by the end of this year".
The two galaxies in the images are situated 326 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Hydra. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
