The National Reconnaissance Office is charged with meeting the U.S. government's intelligence needs through spaceborne reconnaissance. From this site, surfers can access links to what is new, the organization's mission and functions, an organizational directory and data from Corona, the first photographic reconnaissance effort from space. Those still wanting a global look at the world can also go to the National Space Science Data Center site and visit the photography gallery. National Aeronautics and Space Administration missions are the primary sources of these data. The images are organized by object on separate pages, and the source of the image and the processing involved in producing it are explained.
Some images have captions provided as well.
The image files can be downloaded from this site in JPEG format. A disclaimer throughout the site warns you that the information available is not a substitute for a visit with your health care provider. While ulcer information might be useful to some surfers, the Health Answers section on sleep disorders might be worth a visit for many of you late-night travelers out there.
