What Kosmos 2612’s Approach to ICEYE-X36 Does and Doesn’t Tell Us
Plane changes in low Earth orbit are rare, because they are expensive. That single fact is the key to reading the Kosmos (Cosmos) 2612 story, and it is why the decisive signal in this episode appeared months before the close approach that drew headlines. In October, Russia maneuvered Cosmos 2612 (catalog 68762) into the orbital […]
Space Power Begins on the Ground
The space community spends enormous energy protecting satellites in orbit — and comparatively little protecting the factories, launch sites, and supply chains that make space power possible. In a special in-person episode of The ISR Debrief recorded in Los Angeles, host Wesley Rose brings together the team behind The Integrity Flash to ask a question […]
Training for the Next Fight: Why “A Good Analyst Is Still a Good Analyst”
As the tools of warfare change faster than the doctrine written to govern them, one question is quietly reshaping the intelligence community: are we training professionals for the fight that’s coming, or the one we already fought? In the third episode of The ISR Debrief, host Wesley Rose convenes three leaders with nearly a hundred […]

In the second episode of The ISR Debrief, host Wesley Rose and Chad Hartman are joined by retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Tom Dobbs — who spent 33 years leading intelligence organizations across the Pacific, Europe, Africa, and the […]
China’s SJ-31 Satellite In Position to Monitor GEO from an Unusual Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO)
Written by Greg Gillinger On 16 June 2026, China launched a Long March 3B/E from Xichang carrying Shijian-31 (SJ-31) (69570). Initial TLE data from SpaceTrack indicates the satellite is operating in a highly elliptical orbit (HEO) with an inclination of approximately 63.4° and an eccentricity of 0.69—consistent with a Molniya-type orbit. The satellite has an […]
Whoever Sees First Wins: Why ISR Is the Decisive Capability of the Next War
The next major conflict won’t be decided by the biggest platform or the newest weapon system. It will be decided by whoever can sense, understand, and act faster than the adversary. That is the central argument of the inaugural episode of The ISR Debrief, the new podcast from Integrity ISR, where host Wesley Rose sits […]
