Thanks Captain Beyond for the topic and ping, thanks humblegunner for the link over to the other topic, and thanks Daffynition for posting the other topic: The approach was not novel -- a similar, much smaller program was run during the Eisenhower administration, one can see one of the "cans" at the Air & Space museum. But 60 miles of film times 19 satellites, that's a lot of info. Bravo to our cold warriors!

Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Yeah it is hard to even imagined the number of man hours it took back then to go over all those images and sort out the ones that might be relevant. Then to send out the humint to verify it was a tremendous undertaking. My hat off these guys. Awesome job well done.
