DORIAN was not limited by the quality of film, but by atmospheric interference.
So let see what image resolution and task had the Keyhole Satelliten
KH-9 HEXAGON - 9.1 m to 6.1 m (30 ft to 20 ft) - Military Mapping - 1971 to 1986.
Since KH-9 was Mapping only, was KH-10 planned successor for KH-8 ?
A lot of these numbers are wrong.
yeah, its difficult to get right dataYour resolution for HEXAGON is too low
So why are you ripping someone a new one when they don't have access to the real numbers?but you won't find that in any unclassified source.

Your numbers are still bad.
You got source on that ?CORONA started out with really low resolution, but best resolution for the KH-4B was a little better than 6 feet.
KH-7 GAMBIT-1 was at best around 2-3 feet.
KH-8 GAMBIT-3 was at best 4 inches (although somebody who worked on it told me that the best resolution was 2.4 inches). I think that the original goal for the program was around 12 inches.
There are the official HEXAGON numbers and the real ones. According to a guy who worked on the camera system, the best ever HEXAGON resolution was 6 inches, but you won't find that in any unclassified source.
