If it's uknown to the public, then it's a big deal indeed. Public will be able to see how their taxes are used.

You mean the American public? I don't think so. The American government is spending $600 billion every year to play world police and to invade countless third world nations, and the public remains overwhelmingly supportive of these actions. They wasted $1.5 trillion in the F-35 program, and still got a fighter jet which is much inferior to the Sukhoi PAK FA.

Your country may be your worst enemy

Are they hidden?

As an individual, I don't give a damn about satellite positioning. But I guess that to those very few people to whom this question matters, it isn't that difficult to locate all the satellites with telescopes. It's a bit more difficult with stationary satellites as you'd need telescopes all over the planet, but they are telescopes all over the planet.

Are you suggesting that US should spend less on military satellites? That is ridiculous. They should spend more on surveillance.

You know, just to to keep a close eye on rogue states such as North Korea, China and Russia.

and dont forget the usa citizens

What does this actually mean to your average person? Would it even matter if we know where they are? Obviously if russia knows about them then im sure other country's do too. Is it a big deal?

Only walk on the north side of the building... It cost more for them to watch you ;-)

Russia to reveal location of US military satellites in free space database

Russia’s own data on near-Earth objects – including military satellites not covered by the open catalog of the North-American warning system NORAD – could soon be made publicly available as a comprehensive database, Russian media report.

Russia is planning to set up a free database on thousands of near-Earth objects, including those not publicly listed in open catalogs of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Izvestia newspaper reported on Tuesday.

NORAD doesn’t only track Santa at Christmas – its database also provides details on thousands of satellites launched, destroyed or still functioning. While the catalog does not disclose data on America’s own military or dual-use satellites (or those of allies – Japan, France, Germany and Israel among them), as Izvestia says, it does feature Russia’s defense satellites.
