Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The globe in a black disc suggests the earth in space and reflects the squadron's theater of operations. The flight symbol represents a satellite in earth orbit and signifies the unit’s functions of telemetry, tracking, and command of satellites.

The polestar symbolizes true north and implies the squadron's dedication to its mission.
