DSP 14 was the first of the so-called Block 14 satellites. It was launched on the first Titan 4 from Cape Canaveral on 1989 Jun 14 and received the code name USA 39. The IUS upper stage placed DSP 14 in geostationary orbit. In 1991, the satellite was reportedly moved to observe the Gulf War region.

OGO 1

  1964-054A

---

OGO I was launched at 0123 on 1964 Sep 5 by Atlas Agena D from LC12 at Cape Kennedy. It was inserted into a 281 x 149385 km x 31.1 deg orbit. The two large booms failed to deploy and the attitude control system failed because an earth sensor was obscured. On Sep 10 a ground command signal oriented the solar panels to the sun and the experiments were operational, sending back data until 1969 Nov 25. The spacecraft was put on standby until 1971 Nov 1; it finally stopped transmitting around 1972 Feb 15. In 1999 Space Command issued a revised decay date of 1980 Aug 10, but in 2000 it resumed issuing orbital elements.

Milstar 1

 1994-009A

---

The first Milstar (Military Strategic and Tactical Relay System) military communications satellite was launched in Feb 1994. Development Flight Satellite No. 1 carried an LDR (Low Data Rate) payload in the Block 1 configuration. Milstar was built by Lockheed for the USAF.

In 1995 the spacecraft was in an inclined geostationary orbit with i=11 deg and stationed at 90 deg W for tests. In Sep 1995 it was moved to 120W in preparation for the launch of Milstar DFS 2 to the 90W slot. In 2002 it was over the Pacific Ocean and scheduled to be replaced by FLT-6.

The first 11F662 Gorizont satellite was launched on 1978 Dec 19 by 8K82K Proton from Baikonur. The Blok-DM upper stage malfunctioned, leaving Gorizont No. 11 in an elliptical 1420.0 min, 22580 x 48365 km x 11.3 deg orbit. Later burns of the satellite propulsion system raised the period to the synchronous value but not enough fuel was available to reduce the inclination. The satellite was used for various engineering tests.
