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.
