We hang out and process an infrared color KH9 spy satellite image of San Jose from 1979 into near true color before georeferencing it. We also play around with 3D imagery and coincidentally watch a spy satellite be launched in real time!

The final version of the KH9 image can be interactively viewed here: https://soar.earth/maps/23277
