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.
