Quickie: Malaspina Glacier, Alaska, USA - August 19th, 1977

In this image, taken by the Keyhole 9-13 reconnaissance satellite (https://goo.gl/K1uk9j) on August 19th, 1977, you can see the Malaspina Glacier in Alaska, USA.

The Keyhole 9-13 satellite was an American reconnaissance satellite - one in a long series of cold war spy satellites. Most of its images have been declassified by now and are available to the public, such as this beautiful one of the Malaspina Glacier (https://goo.gl/AWGaEp). I encourage you to download the full-size image on Flick to really enjoy the image.

One year after #Google bought the satellite mapping software Keyhole from CIA venture capital firm In-Q-Tel in 2004, In-Q-Tel’s director of technical assessment Rob Painter — who played a key role in In-Q-Tel’s Keyhole investment in the first place — moved to Google. At In-Q-Tel, Painter’s work focused on identifying, researching and evaluating “new start-up technology firms that were believed to offer tremendous value to the #CIA, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.” Indeed, the #NGA had confirmed that its intelligence obtained via #Keyhole was used by the #NSA to support US operations in #Iraq from 2003 onwards.
A former US Army special operations intelligence officer, Painter’s new job at Google as of July 2005 was federal manager of what Keyhole was to become: Google Earth Enterprise. By 2007, Painter had become Google’s federal chief technologist.
That year, Painter told the #Washington #Post that Google was “in the beginning stages” of selling advanced secret versions of its products to the US government. “Google has ramped up its sales force in the Washington area in the past year to adapt its technology products to the needs of the military, civilian agencies and the intelligence community,” the Post reported. The Pentagon was already using a version of Google Earth developed in partnership with Lockheed Martin to “display information for the military on the ground in Iraq,” including “mapping out displays of key regions of the country” and outlining “Sunni and Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad, as well as US and Iraqi military bases in the city. Neither Lockheed nor Google would say how the geospatial agency uses the data.” #Google aimed to sell the government new “enhanced versions of #Google #Earth” and “search engines that can be used internally by agencies.”
