just as the U2 covered the 1950s/1960s and the SR-71 covered the
1960s/1970s.

it's not unreasonable to think there were overlapping and/or
successive programs.


It would seem like the SR replacement, whether SR-75 Penetrator or
Aurora, was replaced by the Sentinel while the Super Valkyrie became
the S-3 Blackstar and moved into the space category along with the
TR-3B ASTRA.

Also, the NRO has always been rumored to control new aircraft and NOT
just satellites. Part of the reason for black project "blackout" since
the B-2 was publically unveiled in the late 1980s.
