USA-125
1996-038A
A classified satellite was launched by a Titan 4 from Cape Canaveral in Jul 1996. Launch of the venerable K-2 vehicle had been delayed for some years; it delivered its payload to a 318 km, 55.0 deg initial orbit. A kick motor was later cataloged in a 383 x 14072 km x 55.4 deg orbit. The payload is thought to be a QUASAR communications satellite in Molniya-type orbit.
