> They have released images of the poppy satellites, and other stuff. <OT> Note that one of the 2005 NRO Pioneers Class, http://www.nro.gov/PressReleases/prs_rel85.html , apparently developed the emitter geolocation technique used on POPPY and the subsequent NOSS triads. (Program C was the US Navy component in the traditional NRO structure. It was mostly run out of the Naval Research Laboratory, where Mr. Eisenhauer is a division superintendent.) "Mr. Robert E. Eisenhauer pioneered the techniques that led to precise time-of-arrival signal recovery, and digitization and encryption of data for 1960s- through 1980s-era NRO Program C satellite systems. He further developed these systems to achieve high-speed, real-time, on-board integration, synchronization, and processing of SIGINT data from multiple satellites. These techniques completely changed wide-area SIGINT reconnaissance technology and dramatically improved the accuracy and dissemination timeliness of satellite intelligence products through the present day. His career in national reconnaissance spans from 1962 to present." </OT> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
