Originally it was tested on the A-12 Oxcart airframe and then modified in the later 1960s to launch off the B-52H bomber. It flew four unsuccessful operational missions over Southern China before the program was terminated in July 1971. pic.twitter.com/yhC0pmd0Iw

The NRO, as part of its continuing document declassification and release program, has released 97 records associated with the D-21 Tagboard project. The project, a supersonic reconnaissance drone, was conceived by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in 1962. pic.twitter.com/OxfhDvwHto

The D-21 program, codenamed Tagboard, began in the early 1960s under the oversight of the newly established NRO. While the program was canceled before becoming fully operational, its legacy impacted the technology used in national reconnaissance for years to come. pic.twitter.com/FavKd5KV29

Had a fun morning speaking with students from Green Valley Elementary and answering their great questions about the NRO and the D-21 drone now on display at the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Alabama. Glad to help spark the imaginations of this next generation. #STEM pic.twitter.com/8YR91tHvbF

A single, fully-loaded Hexagon carried approx. 300,000 feet of film, with a resolution of 2-3 feet. As a "search" system, Hexagon's frames of imagery covered areas as wide as 370 nautical miles (that's roughly the distance from Washington, D.C. to Cincinnati, OH).

#OTD: March 16th is a unique day in NRO history as the anniversary of two Hexagon launches aboard a Titan IIID from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Hexagon-14 launched March 16, 1978, and Hexagon-15's launch (pictured) was on this same day in 1979. pic.twitter.com/CZInTkt5ow
