A mercenary satellite is a wild concept. It raises an number of ethical questions.

It also feels like another step down the path toward a cyberpunk dystopia. I'll add it to the list with robotic policing and subscription based airbags.

These satellites really are something. Radar means seeing in the dark and through clouds. The resolution is quite good.
