Not that it's practical, but what could Hubble see? The first question would be can it be positioned to stare "down", and then how well would it see something that close and fast?
The HST is actually pretty interesting. It's in a 550 or so km orbit, which means that it's close approach to AO-40 would be about 500km. More importantly, it has a 2.4m mirror, which works out to about 94 inches. In theory, it's maximum resolving power is about 0.05 arc seconds, which at 500km (ballpark of the closest range it could achieve) would be on the order of 5 inches. I have no idea what the tracking requirements would be and whether it could image such an object, but I have little doubt that there are military satellites with that capability.
The JWST (scheduled to launch in... 2014 or so?) has an aperature in excess of six meters, and would result in a corresponding increase in resolving power.
The ISS has a nominal orbit altitude of around 350km, so would be a more challenging, and doesn't carry the kind of optical instruments that the HST carries.
