2009-047A
USA 207, a Lockheed Martin A2100 satellite. Launch by Atlas V. AV-018 Highly classified; the P360/PAN program is a commercial procurement, with the system provided by Lockheed Martin for a `US government customer'. The satellite was described officially as a "US Government communications satellite" although observers suspected it was actually for signals intelligence.
The mission patch carried the PAN acronym and the logo "Palladium at Night"; probably a humorous misdirection. The patch had 7 stars on it.
The satellite was tracked in orbit by amateurs, who noted its frequent relocations at various points over the Indian Ocean.
