Subtitled "Thirty Years of Recollections about Satellite Reconnaissance at Kodak", this is the story of Kodak photographic satellite reconnaissance efforts, from the 1950's to the mid-1980's. A key part of the National Reconnaissance Program, they were some of the very first satellites placed in orbit, and were at the state of the art. With their ability to image objects as small as a foot, from 100 miles away, these systems helped make the SALT treaties possible and helped select the landing sites for the Apollo Program. The narrative is based upon personal recollections plus a discussion of recently declassified material from the National Reconnaissance Office and the CIA. <ASIN:1702540456>
