    With hurricane Issac headed for the Gulf Coast, this is a good time for a reminder that Ready.gov has tips and tools from the @Federal Emergency Management Agency for creating your family emergency plan, getting an emergency kit and taking other steps to prepare. Be informed. Make a plan. Ready.gov can help.

    Over the weekend we highlighted the 52nd anniversary of the United States' first successful photo reconnaissance satellite program, CORONA.

    Classified until 1995, the CIA has since provided a wealth of information about CORONA, including ...
    details on one incident where all didn't go as planned.

    Before today’s digital technology, photo reconnaissance satellites used film, which returned to Earth in capsules ejected from the satellite. These "buckets" as they were known had to be collected.

    In 1971 the parachute broke off of one capsule causing it to crash into the ocean. Recovering the capsule required undertaking deepest undersea salvage that had ever been attempted.

    The CIA's Flickr page offers a collection of photographs documenting the retrieval of the secret spy satellite capsule from from 16,400 feet below the Pacific Ocean:

    In a recently article, the FBI detailed the legacy of former FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover. Here, Hoover receives a medal from President Dwight D. Eisenhower for, "outstanding contribution to the national security of the United States."

    This article is actually the fourth in a series published by the FBI this year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hoover's death in May of 1972.

    CORONA was the United States' first photo reconnaissance satellite program. August 18th 2012 marks the 52nd anniversary of CORONA’s first recovery of film from space in 1960.

    The success of CORONA, which operated from August 1960 until Ma...
    y 1972, revolutionized the business of intelligence by providing the US with imagery of more than 1.5 million square miles of Soviet territory—an area about 2.5 times the size of Alaska.

    CORONA’s intelligence gathering success profoundly altered the course of the Cold War and was probably one of the key factors in preventing a nuclear war.

    The program was declassified at the request of the Central Intelligence Agency in February 1995.

    For more information on the CORONA anniversary, see:

    It’s hard to imagine a world without Google maps or satellite imagery. But more than 50 years ago, satellite photoreconaissance technology was a mystery that a small team of CIA, Air Force and private-industry personnel were tasked to investigate.
