I'd say so H.....definitely a sensor to be used in a remote sensing application. Probably end up on the next generation of Earth resources satellites.
It wouldn't end up on government spy satellites....not US ones, at least. The NSA have their own chip manufacturing plant at Fort Meade. They've probably already got chips as big or larger on their latest LaCrosse and Keyhole satellites.
If they have the technology to make that sensor, maybe we are not far away from a medium or large format sensor available for the public.
I guess it´s just a matter of time
