The NRO would be actually the operator. NGA takes care of exploiting the data

Ah shoot, you're right, I totally forgot.

It does make me wonder what the NGA does with a ~5 billion dollar budget then, in my head most it was allocated to new sats. Other than buy approximately 10 3080s I mean ;)

Good point... those 10 3080s sure would be useful for the ML stuff they probably do, hehe.

Also, probably going towards buying a lot of third-party commercial data.
