The USA-247 launch received a relatively high level of press coverage due to the mission's choice of logo, which depicts an octopus sitting astride the globe with the motto "Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach".[6] The logo was extensively criticized in light of the 2013 surveillance disclosures.[7] Launch detailsLaunched in 2013, it has been identified as a Topaz radar imaging satellite, developed as part of the Future Imagery Architecture program,[2] to replace the earlier Onyx spacecraft.[3][4] USA-247 was launched by United Launch Alliance using an Atlas V carrier rocket flying in the 501 configuration, along with twelve CubeSats being carried as secondary payloads. Five of the CubeSats were a part of NASA ELaNa II manifest. Space Launch Complex 3E at the Vandenberg Air Force Base was used to conduct the launch, which took place at 07:14:30 UTC on 6 December 2013 (23:14 local time on 5 December).[5] Identified as NRO Launch 39, it marked the forty-third flight of an Atlas V. The rocket used had been named Belle, and had tail number AV-042.[6] Mission logoThe mission's official logo was a gigantic octopus with its massive arms wrapped around the world, accompanied by the motto "Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach".[3] This image was widely deemed controversial in light of the 2013 Global surveillance disclosures. A spokesperson for the NRO explained:[7] [8][9]
After the Director of National Intelligence announced the launch on Twitter,[10] the image was criticized as "tone-deaf" to the political climate caused by the 2013 surveillance disclosures.[9] In a segment discussing mass surveillance entitled "That Thing They Said They're Not Doing? They're Totally Doing", American satirist Jon Stewart commented on the logo:[11]
Some outlets drew satirical parallels with anti-communist imagery.[12] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.heavens-above.com/orbit.aspx?satid=39462|title=USA 247 - Orbit|last=Peat|first=Chris|publisher=Heavens-Above|date=22 January 2015|accessdate=25 January 2015}} {{Portal|Spaceflight}}{{Orbital launches in 2013}}{{NRO Launches}}{{Future Imaging Architecture radar satellites}}{{Orbit|datasource|H}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/fia-radar.htm|title=Topaz 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (FIA-Radar 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)|first=Gunter|last=Krebs|work=Gunter's Space Page|accessdate=6 December 2013}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/12/atlas-v-launch-nrol-39-vandenberg/|title=Atlas V launches NROL-39 from Vandenberg|first=William|last=Graham|publisher=NASASpaceflight.com|date=5 December 2013|accessdate=6 December 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Dec-2013/0039.html|title=NROL-39 search elements|first=Ted|last=Molczan|publisher=SeeSat-L|date=6 December 2013|accessdate=6 December 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av042/status.html|title=Atlas Launch Report - Mission Status Center|first=Justin|last=Ray|publisher=Spaceflight Now|date=6 December 2013|accessdate=6 December 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sat/nrol.htm|title=NROL launches|first=Gunter|last=Krebs|work=Gunter's Space Page|accessdate=6 December 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=US spy agency launched this Earth-conquering octopus logo into orbit|publisher=Io9.com|url=http://io9.com/us-spy-agency-launched-this-earth-conquering-octopus-lo-1479029015}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=New US spy satellite features world-devouring octopus|publisher=Ars Technica|url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/new-us-spy-satellite-features-world-devouring-octopus/}} 9. ^1 2 {{cite web|publisher=Forbes Magazine|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2013/12/05/u-s-spy-rocket-launching-today-has-octopus-themed-nothing-is-beyond-our-reach-logo-seriously/|title=U.S. Spy Rocket Has Octopus-Themed 'Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach' Logo.
