Heres an interesting thread where the poster posits a sub one million dollar recon sat built using cots with around a 1 meter resolution.
Now I dont know how viable this is,but it does give one something to think about.
It 's humorous how Iran hauls a rocket over, points it up, and injects a satellite precisely into orbit. Bedooneh dak o fang....
...and in total contrast with Western fancy and scripted scripted multi-billion dollar launches designed for show while large portions of their populations go without basic provisions. Same goes with how Iran fights its wars on the practical side vs the Hollywood polluted multibillion dollar a day wars the US has fought with the pretty and very shiny gear. Today, Russia is also showing how an entire region can be brought to heel on the cheap. Nothing fancy--some breakdowns, some uglies, some time (maybe?), but it works.
