Declassified Satellite Image
(Eiffel Tower, Paris, France)

Product Description

Declassified Satellite Imagery - 2 consists of approximately 50,000 images that were taken from 1963 to 1980. These photographic images were collected by the KH-7 Surveillance System and the KH-9 Mapping System. The images have variable scales and the image quality can be variable. Cloud cover is common. The film and print products are produced from a duplicate negative source. The original film and technical mission-related documents are maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

**Color/CIR film source is not available at a 7 Micron spot size because the file size is too large and/or there are no advantages below the 14 Micron spot size.

The above sizes may vary due to scanning more than just image data. With our policy to scan the surrounding metadata and the addition of the USGS logo the actual image size will generally be larger than the estimates above.

Note: Products from KH-7 will vary in length, ranging from 4 inches to 500 feet. Prices are determined according to the number of 30-inch segments that occur within a particular image. The number of segments per image will be identified when searching and ordering. When ordering on-line, customers will receive all segments within the frame.
