USA-110

 1995-022A


The second Titan 4/Centaur SIGINT payload was launched on 1995 May 14. This launch had a 26.2 m payload fairing, suggesting a different payload, probably the successor to ORION. Launch details were classified from 4 min into the flight and launch sequence times are based on a standard profile. Observers noted that the Titan flew due east, suggesting a geostationary orbit launch.
