Your point being?

Hubble in certain circumstances can see narrow and far. If you express this as a cone, you can extrapolate a volume.

It might be very useful to have something that can search wide and maybe not as far; nearer Earth dangers perhaps. Express that as a wider cone and extrapolate volume.
