The Aquacade satellite program is still classified.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent sources corroborate that the Aquacade/RHYOLITE satellite program remains classified or only partially declassified as of 2025-2026. Sources include specialized military designation systems documentation, military history databases, and declassified intelligence project archives. All sources consistently confirm that unlike fully declassified programs (CORONA, GAMBIT), technical details remain redacted.
