2003-041A
Titan B-36/Centaur TC-20, with an 86' fairing, launched USA 171 on 2003 Sep 9. The azimuth implied a geostationary mission and the satellite is believed to be an Advanced Orion. The UN-registered orbit is typical of geostationary transfer. TC-20 was the last use of the RL10A-3-3A engines.
