Written By Adam Simmons

At GEOINT 2023, we caught up with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), to learn about their remarkable history in geospatial intelligence. We explored the fascinating journey of the NRO's first satellites, from capturing film in space to the intricate process of transporting, processing, and analyzing that valuable imagery. They discussed the iconic Corona satellite mission, which paved the way for unprecedented advancements in satellite reconnaissance. Furthermore, they delved into the intriguing Grab satellite mission and uncover its unique contributions to national security.
