| INFO 4: Restrictions Placed on Civilian Satellites by Countr
Despite the advanced technology of the military satellites, civilian satellites are prohibited to construct and launch satellites as sophisticated. " Governments try to prevent civilian satellites from gaining capabilities that could affect national security." The U.S. Government also follows this principal. For instance, they have made the capabilities of the KH-11 a military top-secret. Even the existence is not officially admitted by the government. Despite these limitations, civilian satellites are providing valuable information on meteorology, agriculture, forestry, geology, environmental science, and other areas. |
