...images, it isn't very efficient. Yes, it took a picture sharper than the Hubble could, but it took a lot longer. The instrument is also limited to a patch of sky only about 1?120th the width of the full moon; the Hubble's field of view is 150 times as large.

We're simply trying to provide an alternate for when the Hubble dies...

In March the Government Accountability Office warned that V-22s are rolling off the production line in Amarillo, Texas, and being accepted by the Marines "with numerous deviations and waivers," including "several potentially serious defects."
