Those topics map to several Q topics including satellites, SpaceX launches, spying, Google, Keyhole, Clapper, and Space Force. And probably to Q drops about taking {their} spy systems offline. (eg https://qanon.pub/?#2017)

Digging on NGA, NRO, and Sentient. Anons who already know more about this, please post info and links, and big picture summary. Other sources referenced below: https://www.nga.mil/About/Pages/Default.aspx , https://www.nga.mil/About/History/Pages/default.aspx

>Eyes in the SKY.
"Often, NGA has the only “eyes” focused on global hot spots and can give unique insight into these critical areas."

>Keyhole.
>Happy hunting.
In the 1970s, the NGA started launching “Keyhole” satellites aimed at Earth. Per Q post 222, it sounds like In-Q-Tel, NGA, and Google evolved the Keyhole program into Google Earth for the C_A and Defense Intelligence.

James Clapper was director of the NGA (aka NIMA) at one point. Under his direction, the agency became 'better able to exploit information to access human activity on the Earth.'
Geospatial intelligence does not just mean pictures from satellites anymore. It means anything with a timestamp and location stamp, and the integration of all related data likely including communications, financial data, Google searches, medical & prescription drug history, human sources, "everything."

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is is a unique combination of an agency in the US Intelligence Community, and a combat support agency under the DOD. It also manages a global consortium of more than 400 commercial and government relationships.
Its primary mission is collecting, analyzing, and distributing geospatial intelligence in support of national security. NGA creates the foundation analysis that enables all other missions. It also defends the nation against cyber threats by supporting other intelligence agencies with in-depth analysis of cyber networks.

-Does NGA spy on Americans?
"By statutory and presidential direction, NGA is limited in the collection of foreign intelligence concerning the domestic activities of US citizens."

Executive Order 12333 defines when “collection, retention, and dissemination” of intelligence about people in the US is allowed. But one of the exceptions to the policy is when intelligence is “acquired by overhead reconnaissance not directed at specific United States persons.”  And the restrictions in the EO do not apply to the private satellite companies providing data to the govt agencies (Maxar, Planet, BlackSky).

-When will the Department of Defense have real-time, automated, global order of battle?
"That’s a great question, and there’s a lot of really good classified answers."

An automated system sucks in all sorts of data, synthesizes it, directs the satellites, runs data from the sats into the analysis loop, comes to a smarter conclusion, then points the satellites or other sensors again and reiterates. Do that well enough, and a company (or intelligence agency) could build a tower of knowledge about the past, comprehend present events faster than their competitors, and maybe someday predict the future.
Any data that has a time tag and a location tag - this is a vast amount of information that’s far more than an army of people could comb through. "Sentient" - a classified 'human aided machine to machine learning' AI, a product of the National Reconnaissance Office, keeps up with the fire hose of information and connects the dots.
