I posted my LANTIRN (Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night) "women engineers" patch a few weeks ago. Here it is again alongside the "real" LANTIRN patch from the mid-1980s to show the common design features. pic.twitter.com/qP1KLSJw61

Cyberpunk military patches

The U.S. Air Force has patches even for its simulation programs. I used Brawler as a combat analyst at the Pentagon in the mid-1990s. It was one of the most interesting jobs I had in my Air Force career. pic.twitter.com/v4c7Yjj38t

"Amateurs Identify U.S. Spy Satellite Behind President Trump's Tweet"

NPR:

Thompson was one of the first to use an amateur-curated database of known satellites to point the finger at USA 224. He showed that it flew over the Iranian space center shortly after the accident.

Langbroek went further still. He was able to reconstruct the picture taken by USA 224 by matching the obliqueness of the circular launch pad in the image tweeted by Trump. His calculation showed that the photo was taken from the vantage of USA 224. Langbroek and another online researcher, Christiaan Triebert, also used shadows cast by towers around the launch pad as sun dials—allowing them to verify the time at which the photo was taken.

Both techniques suggest the pictures were snapped by USA 224, which flew near the site at 2:14 p.m. local time.

...

The mission patch for the USA 224/NROL-49 satellite includes the Latin phrase "better the devil you know."

New book by the author of "I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed By Me: Emblems from the Pentagon's Black World"

Trevor Paglen's new book "From the Archives of Peter Merlin, Aviation Archaeologist" is $13 right now at Amazon:

Commemorative coins, patches, mugs and other ephemera from the shadowy world of US military aviation and aerospace

In From the Archives of Peter Merlin, Aviation Archaeologist, multidisciplinary artist Trevor Paglen (born 1974) collaborates with Peter Merlin, a former NASA archivist, on this new artist’s book featuring a photographic inventory of objects from the aerospace historian’s archive of research culled from military bases such as Area 51.

Featuring images of challenge coins, patches and commemorative mugs from within these bases, as well as debris recovered from the surrounding crash sites, the book presents both a social and technological investigation into the US government’s secret aviation history from the atomic age to today's drone wreckage.

The symbols and texts featured on these objects that celebrate covert missions range in character from goofy to sinister, though their actual meaning may never be fully explained to the public. In addition to photographic images, the book includes an essay by Paglen as well as in-depth captions of the archive’s inventory, offering context for this history and addressing the present-day ramifications of these military advancements across the realms of communication, surveillance and warfare.
