It's not for lack of effort that NGA is not more widely known. In fact NGA has a pretty great portal for NGA specific consumer applications which leverage unclassified GEOINT capabilities:

Not all are great, but some of the apps are really useful and valuable.

It's a huge and hugely valuable organization that has started to become the analysis backbone for current intelligence - largely because decision makers want photos.

The AF and NRO run the satellite system, but pretty much everything valuable that is in Low Earth Orbit that takes "pictures" is processed and analyzed through the NGA - then fused and productized with all source data from CIA/DIA/NSA.

Truly invaluable organization - if bloated (like everything in the USG).

yeah, the headline sounds sinister but more likely mundane truth is NGA finally got a marketing/PR budget, and landed a story in FP.

"Prescient Traveler" oh what a perfect app name. You can tell it's coming from a spy agency.
