Comments |
Thought to be a new generation military communications satellite. The operating agency was not announced; ppears to be related to the U. S. Navy’s Ultra-High Frequency (UFO) Follow-On program constellation of geosynchronous communications spacecraft because of the monitored frequencies emanating from the spacecraft launched in earth orbit. |
