National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Launched Several Satellites Rrecently with a Logo You Will Not Believe: “Nothing is Beyond Our Reach) Picture

(Before It's News)

Ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s old company logo, features a massive octopus straddling the earth with its tentacles above the phrase “Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach” –  probably not the best choice from a public-relations standpoint, in light of the many leaks about mass government surveillance.

That seems to be the take from Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist and senior policy analyst for the ACLU, who tweeted to the Office of Director of National Intelligence, “You may want to downplay the massive dragnet spying thing right now. This logo isn’t helping.”

BUT ARROGANCE TRUMPS:

“NROL-39 is represented by the octopus, a versatile, adaptable, and highly intelligent creature. Emblematically, enemies of the United States can be reached no matter where they choose to hide,” Karen Furgerson, an NRO spokesperson, told Forbes’ Kashmir Hill. “‘Nothing is beyond our reach’ defines this mission and the value it brings to our nation and the warfighters it supports, who serve valiantly all over the globe, protecting our nation.”

Founded in 1961 (but not actually acknowledged until 1992), the NRO designs, builds, launches, and maintains America’s spy satellites.

The details of the launch and much of the NRO’s work is classified, although William Graham at NASA Spaceflight.com believes NROL-39 will be used for radar imaging:

… it can be inferred that NROL-39 is the third satellite in the NRO’s current-generation radar reconnaissance fleet. It follows the NROL-41 mission, or USA-215, launched in September 2010, and NROL-25 (USA-234) which was launched by a Delta IV in April 2012.
