National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Official Magazine: The Space Sentinel

Background

The NRO is the U.S. Government agency in charge of designing, building, launching, and maintaining America’s intelligence satellites.

Internally, they published the The Space Sentinel newsletter, most of which is not available to the public.  The Space Sentinel was published quarterly by the NRO Office of Strategic Communications. As the official magazine of the National Reconnaissance Office, it is a medium of information and education for NRO personnel, mission partners, intelligence users, and Congressional oversight committees.
