USA-247, also known as NRO Launch 39 or NROL-39, is an American reconnaissance satellite, operated by the National Reconnaissance Office. 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 and the motto “Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach”. The logo choice was extensively criticized in light of the 2013 surveillance disclosures.
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). 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.
On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart ridiculed the octopus logo for the recently launched spy satellite NROL-39. He quipped that the logo was one scared schoolgirl away from being a popular comic in Tokyo. And, voilà, the show added just that.
Online in the West, anime fans were quick to note that the character was Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi, the heroine of Henneko: The “Hentai” Prince and the Stony Cat. The anime is heavy on fan service and innuendo, but it’s not porn. No wonder this cameo is being called “unfortunate“.
