Hexagon looked at the earth, the Hubble looked at the stars

The Hexagon spy satellite looked at the earth with extraordinary photographic resolution. So did the Hubble Space Telescope looking at the stars and both were designed and built by Perkin-Elmer. Here are some photos relevant to the Hubble.
