“A satellite’s tour of America’s science landmarks — seen as never before.””

Where does the journey to space begin? Long before any launch countdown, there are places where decades of Earth observation data are archived, deep-space missions are designed, and rockets are assembled bolt by bolt — a federal campus in the Virginia suburbs, a research complex carved into a California mountainside, a launch facility reshaping the Texas coastline. Each tells a different chapter of humanity’s relationship with science and space.

In this issue, SuperX takes you on a tour of three of America’s most iconic science and space institutions — not from the ground, but from orbit.

The Agency That Watches Earth — USGS Headquarters, Reston, Virginia

There’s something quietly poetic about observing the U.S. Geological Survey from space. For over five decades, USGS has been one of the world’s foremost practitioners of satellite-based Earth observation — managing the Landsat archive, the longest continuous record of Earth’s surface from orbit. And here it is, seen from above.

The headquarters campus in Reston, Virginia sits amid dense suburban greenery. SuperX resolves the distinctive cross-shaped roof geometry of the main building, the surrounding parking areas populated with individually distinguishable vehicles, and the mature tree canopy that frames the site. It’s a quietly elegant campus — and a fitting first stop for a tour that begins with the science of looking down.

Where the Solar System Gets Designed — NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California

Tucked into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, JPL doesn’t look like the place where humanity’s greatest space missions are born. From the ground, it reads as a quiet institutional campus surrounded by chaparral and hiking trails. From orbit, the picture changes.

SuperX reveals a remarkably dense research compound — buildings of every scale clustered together, rooftop antenna arrays and equipment installations scattered across the site, internal road networks threading between facilities, and at the northern edge, the iconic antenna domes that link JPL to spacecraft billions of kilometers away. This is the nerve center of deep space exploration, and from 500 kilometers up, every corner of it is now legible.

Where the Rockets Are Born — SpaceX Starbase, Boca Chica, Texas

If JPL is where space missions are imagined, Starbase is where they are physically built. Located on a narrow strip of Gulf Coast land at the southernmost tip of Texas, SpaceX’s Starbase facility is unlike anything else on Earth — a purpose-built rocket manufacturing and launch complex that has grown from a bare coastal plain into one of the most active aerospace construction sites in history.

SuperX captures the site mid-build: the towering launch and catch structure casting its shadow across the pad, propellant storage tanks lined in rows, cranes at work, and the surrounding marshland bearing witness to the scale of what’s being assembled here. It is a living construction site — and from orbit, the pace of that construction is written into every corner of the frame.

The View from Above

Three institutions. Three missions. One extraordinary perspective.

From the agency that pioneered satellite Earth observation, to the laboratory that navigates spacecraft across the solar system, to the facility assembling the rockets that will carry humanity further than ever before — this tour covers the full arc of humanity’s scientific ambition. And SuperX brings it into focus, one landmark at a time.
