It's not got a mirror flaw that you need to work around which loses light, and the secondary is steerable. So the optics are definitely better than the Hubble we have. Just taking those instruments you mention and putting them on this NRO bird would give better results than the Hubble.


Maybe you missed what I was saying. Those instruments are the heart of what makes Hubble a world-class observatory, and they are far from off the shelf components.
