"This book chronicles in satisfying detail the origins of US
satellite reconnaissance by focusing on the pioneering CORONA
program, under which some 800,000 satellite images were made
between 1960 and 1972."--Scientific American
"Day (a research associate at the Space Policy Institute at George
Washington Univ.), Logsdon (director of the Space Policy
Institute), and Latell (editor of the CIA's journal Studies in

active in the program, producing a fascinating record of the
evolution and impact of this crucial and revolutionary
program."--Kirkus Reviews
