    Dear Seesaters,
    
    After the discussions about amateurs publishing spy sat orbits,
    I asked myself whether it would make sense to place such satellites
    in sunsynchronous orbits with equator crossings at local noon/midnight.
    Even though this would cause technical problems, it would have the
    "advantage" of making them almost invisible to people like us since
    they would on be observable in sparsely populated high latitude regions.
    Would this make sense and are there any indications  that such satellites exist?
