Almost, but not quite:

Regarding the KH (Keyhole) US surveillance satellites (from here):

"The black and white images are used by the military and civilian communities. Many of the details about this class of satellites remain classified, but it is known that there are several of these overhead at any given time. They have an imaging resolution of 5-6 inches, which means they can see something 5 inches or larger on the ground. These satellites probably can't read your house number, but they can tell whether there is a bike parked in your driveway."

And remember, that's just the public info. The actual specs are probably much better.

*lol* Check out the name for KH-10. Now we know why Dorian seemingly pulls information out of thin air...
