Data is transmitted through a network of communications satellites; the Satellite Data System (SDS). [5] [18] The initial ground station for the processing of the digital imaging was a secret National Reconnaissance Office facility in Area 58, later confirmed to be located in Fort Belvoir in Virginia.

The National Reconnaissance Office logo This is a list of NRO Launch ( NROL ) designations for satellites operated by the United States National Reconnaissance Office . Those missions are generally classified, so that their exact purposes and orbital elements are not published.
Sentient is an automated (artificial intelligence) intelligence analysis system under development by the National Reconnaissance Office. [68] [69] A principal purpose of the Sentient system is described by the NRO as "compiling at machine, versus human speed, synthesis of complex distributed data sources for rapid analysis faster than humans ...
Sentient is a heavily classified artificial intelligence satellite intelligence analysis system of the United States Intelligence Community, operated by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and developed by their Advanced Systems and Technology Directorate (AS&T), with the United States Air Forces Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the Department of Energy's ...
The satellite mass with and without the Mapping Camera System was 13,300 and 11,400 kg (29,300 and 25,100 lb), respectively. NRO intended to replace HEXAGON with ZEUS, later DAMON—HEXAGON's camera flown on the Space Shuttle—but DAMON was canceled in December 1980. [10] [14] In December 1976 NRO launched the first KH-11 KENNEN.
The Satellite Data System (SDS) is a system of United States military communications satellites. At least three generations have been used: SDS-1 from 1976 to 1987; SDS-2 from 1989 to 1996; SDS-3 from 1998 to the present. It is believed that these satellites were known by the code name Quasar. [1]
