Lessons of the FIA Optical Imaging Satellite Program's Abortion

The Future Imagery Architecture（FIA）program is a U. S. government＇s effort to build a new generation of technologically audacious spy satellites. The death of program is perhaps the most spectacular and expensive failure in the 50-year history of American spy satellite projects. The background, advanced performance and the whole process of development of FIA spy satel- lite program are described. The remedial steps taken by the U. S. government are also described. The lessons gained from the failure are concluded finally.
