How close to the ground can current military spy satellites see?

I was just wondering exactly how close can modern U.S. military spy satellites photograph? Is it as close as a resolution of 10m can they monitor areas in real-time does anyone know?How close to the ground can current military spy satellites see?They can monitor areas in real time if there's a satellite overhead, and the cloud cover/weather permits it. Some satellites may be using infrared or ultraviolet wavelengths that let them see through clouds. So if you're up to something, you might want to stay indoors.How close to the ground can current military spy satellites see?
http://heavens-above.com/ shows overflights by satellites. I don't know if they exclude military/spy satellites, though.

how long are a rabbits legs? long enough to touch the ground. same with the satellites. they can see ALL THE WAY to the ground. if they couldn't see the ground what use would they have?
Funny story... My father was in the military (5 yrs ago) and he would bring me on to a US base where we would fish... I decided since no one was around to relieve myself... two minutes later a helicopter flies over and says over a loud speaker "that we were being monitored by a satellite and that it was illegal to urinate in public"... they laughed and then flew away... Was there really a satellite on us? I don't know but it's kind of scary to think about.





*** Also the US alone has over 20,000 objects flying around space, China and Russia probably another 20,000... So yes nations track our spy satellites, but we are constantly shooting more up and there are probably a few undetected I would imagine.***
The can read cigarette packs. The flight patterns of spy satellites are well know to most nation states. Russia, China, and a few others track all our satellites in space. They intern sell or give the data way to several other countries.
They can see all the way to the ground. Is that close enough? ; )
