Spying on "reconnaissance spacecraft" in geostationary orbit (GEO), is gaining momentum. Company Astranis building Perceptor spacecraft designed to capture satellite activity in GEO orbits. FYI, GEO is typically 35,786kms/22,236 miles above Earth ... popular for communications, weather and "reconnaissance" satellites. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/satellites/astranis-perceptor-satellites-geostationary-orbit-space-situational-awareness #Space #Satellite #GEO #GeostationaryOrbit #Perceptor #Astranis #Spacecraft #Reconnaissance #Sensors #OpticalSensors #USSF #EarthObservation #USGov

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right & bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun. https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/hello-world/ #Earth #Artemis #Artemis2 #Orion #Integrity #OrionIntegrity #spacecraft #NASA #Moon #space #aurora
