This declassified satellite image of Osaka, Japan was captured on 22 April 1979 by a KH-9 HEXAGON spy satellite, during mission 1215.

Each pixel covers about 1.1 meters on the ground.

The original scene is held by the USGS EarthExplorer archive (entity ID D3C1215-200297A005).

The georeferencing for this scene was automated, so its position may be less exact than a manually aligned scene.
