 2009-068A

---

Launch by Delta 4 Medium+(5,4), the first flight of that configuration, with four SRMs and the DCSS Delta 5-m Cryo Second Stage and 5-m fairing.

WGS-3 has a mass of around 5990 kg.

Control from 3SOPS/Schriever, with four US Army WSOC payload control centers.

After two weeks of LAM burns, WGS 3 will use XIPS for over a month to reduce inclination and eccentricity.

Probable location around 12W.
