Formed in December 2006, United Launch Alliance (ULA) is a 50-50 joint venture owned by Lockheed Martin and The Boeing Company. ULA brings together two of the launch industry’s most experienced and successful teams – Atlas and Delta – to provide reliable, cost-efficient space launch services for the U.S. government. U.S. government launch customers include the Department of Defense, NASA, the National Reconnaissance Office and other organizations.

The launch was from a relatively new group on the block..

Annuit cœptis (in Anglicized Latin pronounced /ˈænjuːɪt ˈsɛptɨs/) is one of two mottos (the other being Novus ordo seclorum) on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. Another motto, E pluribus unum, is located on the Great Seal on the reverse side of the dollar bill. Taken from the Latin words annuo (nod, approve) and cœpta (beginnings, undertakings), it is literally translated as "He approves (or has approved) [our] undertaking(s)".
A huge unmanned rocket carrying a secret new spy satellite for the United States roared into space Sunday (Nov. 21) to deliver what one reconnaissance official has touted as "the largest satellite in the world" into orbit.

The Aurora SR-33A is a moderate-sized spacefaring vehicle. The
late National Security Council scientist Dr. Michael Wolf (4.) of
NSC's unacknowledged Special Studies Group subcommittee, (formerly
called MJ-12), has stated that the Aurora can operate on both
conventional fuel and antigravity field propulsion systems. He
further stated that the Aurora can travel to the Moon. Wolf had
also disclosed to me that the U.S. has a small station on the Moon,
and a tiny observation post on Mars (5). Thus I doubt that Dr. Wolf
would characterize the Aurora thus, unless it was a vessel already
used in making such trips. He disclosed additionally that the Aurora
operates out of Area 51, (Groom Dry Lake Air Force Station), at the
northeast corner of the Nellis AFB Range, north of Las Vegas,
Nevada.

"I believe the payload is the fifth in the series of what we call Mentor spacecraft, a.k.a. Advanced Orion, which gather signals intelligence from inclined geosynchronous orbits. They are among the largest satellites ever deployed," said Ted Molczan, a respected sky-watcher who keeps tabs on orbiting spacecraft.
… "The satellite likely consists of sensitive radio receivers and an antenna generally believed to span up to 100 meters (328 feet) to gather electronic intelligence for the National Security Agency," Molczan said.
… Although NRO satellites are secretive by nature, the spacecraft are visible by just looking up. Molczan is member of a hobbyist group that routinely finds and watches the craft while monitoring the skies with precision.
But despite the identity of this particular satellite being obvious, exactly where in the geosynchronous belt it will be positioned and what part of the globe it will cover are details that remain hush-hush.
Molczan feels last Sunday’s launch may have been to “replace one of the older spacecrafts in the series, or augment the fleet by occupying a new location in geosynchronous orbit."
The Air Force has ordered the next Delta IV Heavy launch, called NROL-49, for January 11, 2011. This mission is NRO as well and its details are classified. According to the United Launch Alliance website, it will be the first such launch from Vandenberg AFB in California.
What is with the 32 at the bottom?
