First hint is to list the presidents and their codenames in order,
second hint says to rearrange to the first puzzle number (the ones we had to solve for) and the order is from top to bottom of the puzzle, so president number order is then 3 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 5 - 9 - 6
Giving you:
third hint says to use second number to then get the letter from each codename
if you do the same order that you took from hint 2 then you get the following:
the i option that comes from Providence makes less sense as the E would make the word TERRA, or give us our answer of the target satellite that is known as TERRASAT {ANSWER}

right, so everything in here makes sense to me, until the part where you pulled the correct order of the codenames from.
how did you end up with 3 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 5 - 9 - 6? im trying to find the sudoku connection to that, but alas ive found nothing.
