FROM NRO WEBSITE: 

The Great Bear logo represents the MLV-11 mission launch, which was dedicated to Daniel M. Potter, deceased. Potter was an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency assigned to the NRO as an engineer. He was an advocate and supporter of the NRO Cub Run Partners in Education Program, where he tutored students at Cub Run Elementary on a regular basis. He inspired and motivated students to achieve in math and science. In memory of Dan, his dedication to the students, and education, the NRO Cub Run Partnership held a launch logo design contest. The Ursa Major constellation—the Great Bear—was selected as the design theme for the logo. The Great Bear complimented Cub Run’s mascot— the Bear Cub—and symbolized Dan’s love for the students and his support of the Partners in Education Program. Samantha Wingo’s entry was selected as the winning design. She was a 12 year old, 6th grade student at Cub Run Elementary, and was very excited to be the first child to have her logo, bigger than life, painted on a rocket that soared into space. The logo appeared on the payload fairing of the Atlas-IIAS rocket.
