This satellite, described by the National Reconnaissance Office as the largest in the world, is believed to help Washington's eavesdropping abilities.

Also the United Launch Alliance (ULA) is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing. ULA was formed in December 2006 by combining the teams at these companies which provide spacecraft launch services to the government of the United States. U.S. government launch customers include both the Department of Defense and NASA, as well as other organizations.

Well, now they've told us it's for eavesdropping I suppose the best thing to do is sneak up there and get a picture of which way it's facing.

Also, don't forget that they anounced an office of disinformation around about 2002 ( and then I think they told us they'd closed it down again! ).......phew....hard to keep up with all this stuff they tell us.
