Did you see previous slogans they mentioned in the second article? Secret Spy Satellites Launched By The National Reconnaissance Office? Atlas V Rocket Carries Classified Payload
quote:
Previous NRO launches, NROL, came with slogans and patches that were less threatening and less suggestive than NROL-39's mission patch. The NROL-36 mission patch is a tribute to America, with a charging bison and the slogan "Freedom's shield and hope," while the NROL-38 featured a three-headed dragon with the slogan "Non morieris bello," Latin roughly translated as "We are not going to war."
Atlas V GEMSat Launch 2013
quote:
Twelve CubeSats are set to launch aboard an Atlas V rocket with the NROL-39 primary payload from Vandenberg AFB in California on December 5, 2013. The CubeSat payloads have been provided through NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) program and the NRO's Mission Integration Directorate (MID). The launch window will be announced as it gets closer to launch day. Below is information about each CubeSat including tracking information where available and links to developers' websites. For launch status, see Spaceflight Now's mission status page.
LMAO - that's priceless! Better than a SUICIDE BOMBING PLAN FOR DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
I hope my own NSA agent reads all my e-mail twice - especially the ones I COAT WITH ANTHRAX POWDER and I do hope my NSA agent has my new cell phone number. I just moved and hardly anyone except AL QUAEDA calls me these days...

I think it is Santa that does that checkin it twice thing. Although if they want to start taking that gig over might be cool.
You could be receiving your own lovely classification err... pet name.
Maybe you will soon get your own stealthy love letter... No reason.

quote: United Launch Alliance (ULA) is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing. ULA was formed in December 2006 by combining the teams at these companies which provide spacecraft launch services to the government of the United States. U.S. government launch customers include both the Department of Defense and NASA, as well as other organizations.
ULA provides launch services using three expendable launch systems – Delta II, Delta IV and Atlas V. The Atlas and Delta launch system families have been used for more than 50 years to carry a variety of payloads including weather, telecommunications and national security satellites, as well as deep space and interplanetary exploration missions in support of scientific research. ULA has also provided launch services for non-government satellites. (Lockheed Martin retains the rights to market Atlas commercially.[1] Boeing retains similar rights for Delta.)
.....
ULA launches from both coasts of the United States, depending on the customer's desired orbit. East coast Atlas V launches take place from Launch Complex 41 while east coast Delta IV launches take place from Launch Complex 37. Both are located in Cape Canaveral, Florida. West coast launches take place from Vandenberg Air Force Base in southern California.
More on this from the international scene: Insiders have just brought to light the leader of North Korea has been shaken by pic's of the new high tech satellite , went into trauma and has vowed to change the name of his new hopeful project to Jaws.

And on the other hand, the crew patch for the B-2 test bombers was black, featured an alien in the center with a knife and fork on either side. At the top was the motto "To Serve Man", and on the bottom was a pidgin Latin phrase "Cutatus Similus Pullus" Translated, the bottom means "Tastes Like Chicken". The motto came from the title of an episode of the Twilight Zone. To Serve Man was a cookbook on cooking humans in the Twilight Zone episode.
All done in very obscure terms as befitting a top secret 'black' project that was a closely guarded at that time.
The B-2 was buried in top secrecy until the aircraft was outed shortly before it went to action during the Iraq War. It had been used in combat for the first time in Serbia in 1999, but it's use remained secret, but it's crews still were issued unit patches.
Pretty spooky and bloodthirsty at the same time. Intimidation is a big part of military might, and those patches often have intimidating images and mottos.

One of the National Security Agency's partners is launching a spy satellite with a classified payload into space on Thursday night -- and its logo is an angry, globe-gripping octopus.
....
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which also oversees the NSA, tweeted pictures of the launch preparation. That spurred Christopher Soghoian, of the American Civil Liberties Union, to give the spooks some free advice: "You may want to downplay the massive dragnet spying thing right now. This logo isn't helping."
Obamacare is doing the same.
