Did you identify Greece from the image below? If so, then you are right! This image was taken in June of 1964 and includes a view of the island of Crete.
#TechTuesday 💡: During #NROL70 the @ulalaunch Delta IV Heavy rocket produced a combined liftoff thrust of more than 2.1 million Ibf (9.4 mega-Newtons). That is enough thrust to lift nearly 5 African elephants into orbit! 🐘 🐘 🐘 🐘 🐘
Happy #EarthDay! #DYK our mission supports disaster response teams and environmental scientists? In fact, declassified imagery established a 1960s baseline to help researchers assess environmental changes over time. 🌍 Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/38fJ59l
#ICYMI: NRO and @ulalaunch successfully launched #NROL70, the final #DeltaIVHeavy. This launch was #TheFinalFarewell of a legendary rocket. Check out some of the incredible photos we captured!
NRO welcomed acting @USD_IntelSec Hon. Milancy Harris on her first site visit to our operations center, where she met with Director Dr. Chris Scolese, Principal Deputy Director Dr. Troy Meink, senior leaders, and site staff for mission and operational briefings.
The first spaceflight of the Shuttle program in 1981 was a milestone that opened the door for countless discoveries in space then and today. 🚀🌎

Thank you, @NatReconOfc, for hosting Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Harris's first visit to your operation center.
NRO welcomed acting @USD_IntelSec Hon. Milancy Harris on her first site visit to our operations center, where she met with Director Dr. Chris Scolese, Principal Deputy Director Dr. Troy Meink, senior leaders, and site staff for mission and operational briefings.
Another secret angle, by popular demand. #DeltaIVHeavy #NROL70 #TheDeltaFinale
Lifting off with 7.7 million pounds of thrust, the Apollo 16 mission began #OTD in 1972. John Young, Ken Mattingly, Charlie Duke and a 455 pound (206 kg) lunar rover were strapped into the spacecraft, ready for their 11-day mission to the Moon. go.nasa.gov/49ykZ3O
It's not every day we say farewell to a family of launch vehicles with 63+ years of history launching NASA missions. First Delta rocket launch: May 13, 1960 Last Delta IV Heavy launch: April 9, 2024 📸 Dec. 1972
Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101) arrived at @NASAKennedy #OTD in 1979 to begin several weeks of fit and function checks to prepare for the first shuttle launch (Columbia's STS-1) two years later. In this photo, Enterprise begins its rollout to the launch pad on May 1, 1979.
“A genuine space success story!” NASA’s second Space Electric Rocket Test (SERT II), launched in 1970, marked the first long-duration operation of hyper-efficient ion thrusters in space.
NASA’s second Space Electric Rocket Test was the first long-duration test of ion thrusters in space. The mission provided data for decades & was handled almost entirely by @NASAglenn – from the testing to the launch to the control center: go.nasa.gov/4aGINDA @NASAhistory
Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert launched on the Apollo 13 mission with relatively little fanfare #OTD in 1970. That all changed after an oxygen tank on their spacecraft exploded when they were 180,000 miles from Earth. go.nasa.gov/3PZDZBo
Today we celebrate the first human space flight made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, kicking off a new era of discovery for the benefit of all of us. #InternationalDayofHumanSpaceFlight Since 1961, 600+ people have flown to space. Apply to be among the next 600! go.nasa.gov/49vR7F6
20 years to the day after the first human space flight in history, the first launch of the Space Shuttle occurred #OTD in 1981. The Columbia orbiter lifted off for its first test flight, STS-1, carrying astronauts John Young and Bob Crippen. go.nasa.gov/3VOAYYj
LAUNCH HIGHLIGHTS! On April 9 at 12:53 p.m. ET, the Delta program, spanning 60 years, came to a close with the launch of the final ULA #DeltaIVHeavy rocket carrying #NROL70 for the @NatReconOfc. Watch on YouTube: bit.ly/3vQRUmh

What an incredible moment it was at #SpaceSymposium as a crowd gathered at the ULA booth to watch the historic final #DeltaIVHeavy launch. Where did you watch launch from today? #TheDeltaFinale #39Space
The ULA Launch Director Tom Heter III confirms #DeltaIVHeavy is ready and NRO Mission Director Col. Eric Zarybnisky has given final permission to launch! Liftoff time of #TheDeltaFinale is 12:53pmEDT (1653 UTC). bit.ly/div_nrol70 GO DELTA! GO NROL-70!
