Titan 4B with a 66' fairing from SLC-4E. CRYSTAL replacing USA-116. It was launched to a 1300 LTDN orbit.
It was stored in a high perigee orbit from 2002 to 2006, when its orbit was synchronized with that of USA 186.
In 2011 it was moved to a lower circular orbit, a new regime for this class of satellite. It was deorbited in late 2014.
