A tease of some images that will be making their way to the archive soon.

KH-7 spy satellites captured the expansion of Ngurah Rai International Airport, located on the island of Bali, Indonesia, between May 1965 and July 1966. Both full images can be found at spacefromspace.com/search/?q=bali

My interactive declassified satellite image gallery now contains over 800 entries from all over the world. spacefromspace.com/declassified... Some recent additions include the Lop Nur Nuclear Test Site in China and Tiksi, Russia.

A busy day on the streets of Hotan, China, April 24, 1966. Full image: spacefromspace.com/declassified...

Suez Canal, about 7km south of Port Said & Port Said itself. June 14, 1974, imaged by a KH-9 HEXAGON. Full image currently uploading.

The full image is now online: spacefromspace.com/declassified... Two more to go.

Wow, a newly scanned KH-9 HEXAGON image shows a detailed view of fifth, final, and unlaunched soviet N1 rocket on the launch pad at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan on January 19, 1974. I'll work to get the full scene up on my site for easy viewing asap.

An early CORONA frame currently in the works. It should be online soon.

An EO-1 satellite image showing the aftermath of the Ajka alumina plant accident (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajka_al...) on Oct 9, 2010. Not my usual work but continuing to dig through the EO-1 data from time to time. Full image on @soaratlas.bsky.social soaratlas.com/maps/141433?...

A BlackSky Gen3 satellite captured Falcon Heavy inflight at 10:13am local time, during the launch of the @viasat.com-3 F3 satellite.

Nice on-orbit shot of Hubble ! "Collected on April 23, 2026, by one of Vantor's WorldView Legion satellites, this remarkable non-Earth image showcases Hubble from just 61.8 km away" Source: Vantor on the other site.

4000x4000, amazing! The low resolution uploads have always hurt my soul

Once again, this image is blowing up. It must be the most viewed page of all time on my site. spacefromspace.com/declassified... (not complaining, of course)

Last night when digging through the EO-1 satellite imagery datasets I found this incredible image from April 25, 2010, showing the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. @soaratlas.bsky.social - soaratlas.com/maps/141333

I have two articles in this week's Space Review. This is the topic of one of them. Should be online by Tuesday.

I woke up to some new imagery of the Cape in my inbox, so here it is: spacefromspace.com/spaceport-im... Taken 2026-04-18 13:27:18 UTC by SkySat-C1. I've been working on my processing scripts. It's still not perfect, but better than the manual processing I was doing before.

More declassified satellite images have made their way into the archive over the past few days. Getting closer to the 800 mark! spacefromspace.com/declassified... A few interesting snippets from some of the recent images

My new article (1 of 2) is up. It is about a bunch of new photos of HEXAGON reconnaissance satellite launches. (I also have photos of other previously unseen launches that I will publish later.) thespacereview.com/article/5198/1

From HEO on LinkedIn: "Following reports of an in-orbit fragmentation event involving Starlink 34343, HEO tasked its sensor constellation to collect non-Earth imagery of the spacecraft."

Sometimes google maps has extra cool imagery www.google.com/maps/place/V...

Following up on this, I've also added two images of the nearby Kura Test Range. May 25, 1967, taken by a KH-7: spacefromspace.com/declassified... Sept 14, 1980, taken by a KH-9 mapping camera: spacefromspace.com/declassified...

Uka Airfield and a large antenna used for spaceflight tracking located in Kamchatka Krai, Russia, captured by a KH-7 GAMBIT spy satellite on October 16, 1966. While it's quite a grainy capture, it's a damn cool one. spacefromspace.com/declassified...

My Space Review article is about how the intelligence community tracked a Soviet helicopter carrier in the Black Sea based upon its radar emissions. Harry Stranger just found this 1971 photo of a Soviet helicopter carrier in port. thespacereview.com/article/5195/1

The damaged roof of Blue Origin's 2CAT facility can be seen in an UMBRA SAR satellite image taken on 2026-04-11 02:44:16 UTC. The second picture, from 2026-01-26, shows 2CAT from a different angle and an intact roof more than two months before the incident.

Weather satellites were able to see the Artemis II launch and re-entry. Space is cool, satellites are cool. It's all cool!!!

🚨Two new features have just dropped on Soar: 🔍 Compare two satellite images with a side-by-side slider 💾 Save your satellite search area to a list for quick revisits and daily checks Both are live now on soaratlas.com We hope they help with investigations!

A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage. Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video. This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. 🔭🧪 #Artemis

Um OKAY. Breathtaking photos from the Artemis II crew's lunar flyby and eclipse viewing

This image, taken two years ago today, was one of the coolest 'rocket on launch pad' satellite images I've purchased. Taken at 02:32:07 UTC on April 07, 2024, this image taken by the Pleiades NEO 4 satellite shows Russia's Angara A5 rocket on Pad 1A at Vostochny Cosmodrome.

My interest in current day spaceflight plummeted for the last year or so, but Artemis II reignited that in a very emotional way. This says it all. There was always so much blind worshipping of SpaceX and ignoring other companies as well as NASA. I gave up for a while. Time to refocus on good stuff

What do I spy on the NASA stream 👀

My framing was a little off however, a timelapse of the entire time Artemis II was behind the Moon from my part of the world.

Looking up there right now with a mix of chills, giggles, awe and more.

It's really worth watching the moment when Jeremy Hansen suggests that a crater on the moon - a "bright spot" we'll be able to see from earth - be named Carroll for Carroll Taylor Wiseman, the late wife of commander Reid Wiseman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Cw...

Looks like the Moon will be above the horizon here for both LOS and AOS of Artemis 2. I'll try to get a view when both events happen

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

How anybody can look at this image and think there are better options out there is entirely beyond me. The only planet with whales, and butterflies, and giant sequoias. Home.

A rocketless LC-39B following the successful launch of Artemis II. Taken by UMBRA-10 @ 2026-04-02 16:40:27 UTC. Processing the full image for release.

From last night. I'm sure many of us will be looking up there more often over the next several days.

With events unfolding around the world, you might not know, today, we’re going back to the Moon! 🌑 Satellite images show the SLS standing on Launch Complex 39B ahead of #ArtemisII: tinyurl.com/mrpm2y5y 4 astronauts have launched to the moon for the first time in 50 years.
