Another interesting angle on this story on the DefenseTech.org blog at http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001272.html.
And here on Arms Control Wonk.com (http://www.armscontrolwonk.com/311/spysat-revealed-its-misty), a possible drawing of a Misty spacecraft?
It is believed there have been two spacecraft launched under the Misty program banner:
1990-019B 20516 AFP-731/Misty 1/SRS 2 USA 53 2/28/1990 0750 UTC ETR
STS-36 Shuttle Period-88.6 Inc-62.00 242 x 238 km orbit
1999-028A 25744 Misty 2/NRO-8x/EIS-1 USA 144 5/22/1999 0936 UTC WTR SLC4E
Titan 404B Period-148.4 Inc-63.40 3133 x 2688 km orbit. Note: This Titan used 50 foot fairing instead of 66 foot fairing used for Lacrosse radar imaging satellites.
More on this as we have it.
