+
+Repo containing early tools, documentation and results on pilot study using ASP to process declassified spy satellite images from Corona and Hexagon programs.
+See README and [overview slides from March 2019 presentation](doc/shean_declass_20190306_trim.pdf). We hope to improve ASP support for these historical datasets in the coming years - please reach out to discuss potential opportunities, especially funding options to support ASP developer time.
