NRO spy satellite may be total loss: sources
Reuters is reporting that the experimental L-21 classified spy satellite is likely to be reported as a total loss.
Efforts to restore its ability to communicate failed repeatedly over the past three month.
The National Reconnaissance Office was launched successfully on Dec. 14 but has been out of touch since reaching its low-earth orbit.
The satellite carried sophisticated cameras to take high-resolution pictures and test equipment intended for use on the broader Future Imagery Architecture (FIA) program.
