To whomever posted this, this is awesome, and why I come to HN. This article speaks to the relationship between Corona and Silicon Valley. I did a quick search and found more pointers: https://steveblank.com/2010/01/18/the-secret-history-of-silicon-valley-part-14-weapons-system-117l-and-corona/ https://steveblank.com/2010/01/18/the-secret-history-of-sili... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORONA_(satellite) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORONA_(satellite). The names mentioned where the satellites were built and controlled from will be familiar to anyone in the valley: Sunnyvale Lockheed-Martin, Stanford Page Mill, and Onizuka Air force base in Sunnyvale.
