The NRO issues annually, a call for nominations for Pioneers of National Reconnaissance. A Pioneer of National Reconnaissance is an individual who, at any point in the history of national reconnaissance, made an innovative breakthrough that resulted in a lasting and significant contribution that changed the direction or scope of the discipline.
If you wish to submit a nominee or have questions about the process, please contact the Center for the Study of National Reconnaissance Office at csnr@nro.mil.
