NROL-123-Trio.png


Summary

Description
English: The dragonfly symbolizes energy, youthful exuberance, and accomplishment—representing the use of new technology. The position of it flying through the hexagon symbolizes a new frontier, new opportunity, and new perspective. The forward movement represents the critical path of the mission.

The bees are based on the idea of “small but impactful” and represent the tremendous impact the program experiments will have on the NRO mission.

The sunfish, or mola, nods toward the program.
