It goes without saying that members of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) board of directors are true industry thought leaders. Case in point is board member Chris Tucker, Ph.D., who is the founding chief strategic officer of In-Q-Tel and former CEO of IONIC. Mr. Tucker recently penned an OpEd for Space News on a new standard for the NRO. As many of you know, we have been covering the NRO for sometime now — from the announcement of the new director to the appointment of the development of the new panel who will assess its viability. Check out Mr. Tucker’s Space News OpEd here. Very insightful and very much worth a read. In addition, here’s a Q&A we did with Mr. Tucker back in late 2008. Happy Thursday.
