The infrared imagery would pass through the scanner and register on the [charged-couple] array to form a moving
                     infrared picture, which would then be amplified, digitalized, encrypted, and transmitted up to one of the spacecraft for
                     downlink. 154


                   Multispectral  scanners,  interferometers,  IR  spin  scan  radiometers,  cryocoolers,  hydride
               sorption beds. . .Sensing from miles above the Earth is a high-tech feat, and advances in very-
               high-speed integrated circuits (VHSIC) and parallel processing have led to criminal exploitation
               of space-based sensor data. Part of the “space garbage” being monitored and mapped by Space
               Fence outposts include billions of sensors dedicated to surveillance.
