My gallery of interactive declassified spy satellite images has just crossed 600 images! spacefromspace.com/declassified...

This remarkable spy satellite image of Dublin was taken a week before Ireland began to change (very, very slowly) forever. The "Bishop and the Nightie" controversy in February 1966 was a landmark moment. @spacefromspace.com spacefromspace.com/declassified... www.rte.ie/archives/exh...

For those who may want to take a closer look at these targets and compare the location to current day imagery I've just uploaded the image to @soaratlas.bsky.social: soaratlas.com/maps/139467?...

Well hello there calibration target friends. Rough location: 37.24017311276196, -93.38428854691227

@juliabergeronnsf.bsky.social reminded me of the coolest spaceflight history images out there. The home of Roy Roberts passing NASA's iconic Vertical Assembly Building while being relocated from it's original location which is now within Kennedy Space Center.

Two GAMBIT images in progress 🛰️

An absolutely incredible image of the International Space Station taken by a *satellite* also in orbit by heospace.com & blacksky.com

A few days ago, an old service tower at Baikonur Cosmodrome's Launch Complex 45 was demolished. The tower was previously used to tend to Zenit vehicles before launch. This Umbra SAR satellite image shows the demolished tower, as well as the remaining tower next to it. See video in replies 🔽

This article is another great example of using CIA Photographic Intelligence Reports (PIRs) to filter through the millions of CORONA, GAMBIT, and HEXAGON scenes and find something notable (in this case, R-16 ICBMs). thespacereview.com/article/5082/1

The Vantor company (formerly Maxar) used one of their Worldview satellites to capture a picture of the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite in orbit. The large radar reflector (12 meters or 38 feet wide) has a mesh surface that appears gold and the solar panels on […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A fantastic new high res satellite capture of the Space Coast launch pads from @spacefromspace.com 🚀 🔎 Zoom, pan around, and see all the detail from this massive map: soaratlas.com/maps/139319

A satellite image of the launch pad at Chabahar Space Base, Iran, taken by Pleiades NEO on September 24, 2025. @soaratlas.bsky.social soaratlas.com/maps/139324?... @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social may be of interest to you

After a long wait due to unfortunate cloud cover, we finally have a new high resolution satellite capture of most of the Space Coast launch pads. These captures are possible thanks to my Patreon supporters! www.patreon.com/c/spacefroms... See the thread below for close ups:

And this article, with Harry Stranger: thespacereview.com/article/5075/1

It was a lovely day on the Space Coast today. Stay tuned for something more detailed in the morning (Space Coast time)

Can you believe how much Shanghai has changed since 1966? Map👉 : soaratlas.com/maps/asia-sh...

I forgot I had this packed away after moving earlier this year

People who share satellite imagery while knowingly breaking the licence because 'i don't care' are the ones who ruin it for the rest of us. It's hard enough to get usable imagery as it is.

Umbra: How much resolution would you like? Me: All of it. UMBRA-09: I gotchu. True story. (25cm, 3-looks)

I will have two articles in this week's Space Review. This is the topic of one of them, with Harry Stranger.

Should be a great event for those interested in researching Cold War intelligence. Speakers are @deselv.bsky.social of the Institute for Historical Scholarship at Humboldt University in Berlin; Gary Keeley former historian at CIA; and Mark Kramer, director of the Cold War Studies Project at Harvard.

Jeddah has changed a lot since 1966 Full map on @soaratlas.bsky.social: soaratlas.com/maps/139176?...

Thinking about this a lot. Basically the equivalent of Twitter moving to 'X'. Throwing away so much brand recognition for what?

Here are two comparisons of the site taken by CORONA spy satellites on September 15, 1964 and June 28, 1968.

Including some really cool declassified spy satellite pictures

There a few volcanoes (Aetna, Klyuchevskaya) in this collection I made a while back: medium.com/planet-stori...

Georeferencing over a desert is a challenge, but a welcome one. Egypt - July 22, 1980

Just spent some time digging through old Maxar/DigitalGlobe blogs to find a reference image and found this incredible capture of Mt Fuji. Incredible. The satellite was only three degrees above the horizon when it captured this image. blog.maxar.com/earth-intell...

I believe this is what some would refer to as an 'Australia moment'. About 150cm long. Keeping my distance. Just watching it peacefully make its way through my yard.

@dutchspace.bsky.social you might know about what this is? Noticed a new building going up at Vandenberg. soar.earth/satellites/s...

Currently working on this KH-9 HEXAGON image of Houston and thought I'd share some previews. Taken on August 31, 1983. *fixed date typo
