NRO informaed NASA a year ago that they had residual hardware suitable for hardware - completely declassified for NASA use. #NRO-NASA

#NASA does not have funding in current budget to use these new NRO space telescopes #NRO-NASA

Hertz; NRO donated teescopes woudl nto be used as part of #JWST mission #NRO-NASA

Hertz: these are wide angle telescopes - could be used to discover sources that could be followed up by #JWST

Moore: need to have a ground system that can communicate with NRO-donated telescopes - a lot of investment required #NRO-NASA

Moore: optical systems tend to be the longest lead item for space telescopes - that is not an issue here #NRO-NASA

Moore - need a launch vehicle with a large shround - typical of Atlas V or Falcon 9 #NRO-NASA

#NASA asked if will provide names of the spacecraft & photos - they do not have "name" we are trying to think of a name Need to talk to NRO

NASA PAO's JD Harrington did'nt inform all media w/ equal advance notice to info surrounding the NRO telescopes. Playing favorites #NRO-NASA

#NASA says that all NRO telescope hardware has been declassified but won't release images of declassified hardware. Contradiction #NRO-NASA

NASA claims that NRO telescopes do not have names. What do they call them now? "Telescope A" and "Telescope B" ?

JD Harrington will not make the same individuals available to media that they offered to NY Times and Wa Post. Playing favorites. #NRO-NASA

#NASA said that they notified specific members of Congress that these hardware discussions were underway. #NRO-NASA

Moore: This hardware was developed and determined not to be necessary for use. This hardware was built to fly #NRO-NASA

Dressler: this is a faster optical system than Hubble that can be applied to a wider field telescope - 100X bigger than HST. #NRO-NASA

Dressler: this NRO hw was buit after Hubble. Moore: spacecraft is half the length of HST. Mirror is lighter and more bowl shaped than HST

Moore: spoke of cooperative nature of folks at NRO to do something good for the nation #NRO-NASA

Moore: there is an older computer system - $75-100K to store NRO telescopes at manufacturer #NRO-NASA
