The Russians used to fly into Washington on Aeroflot, and fly back to Moscow while translating Aviation Week magazine.

It wasn't the pre-flight inspectors fault.

I for one, think it is very cool that National Review Online has its own spy satellite.

"The Atlas V people have a lot of explaining to do," the official said on background. Not half as much as the NRO official or contractor who leaked the status of a Top Secret mission. I'm sure our enemies will also be curious about the status of these satellites.

Two top secret National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) ocean surveillance spacecraft were fired into the wrong orbit June 15 ... "The Atlas V people have a lot of explaining to do," the official said on background.
Lighten up Frances, it's not like it's Rocket Science.
Oh, wait a sec......

Considering who the client is, our adversaries (and some of our friends) probably believe this is all disinformation.

Two top secret National Reconnaissance Office... Top secret my ass.
However, if there's even a SHRED of truth that this mission was indeed "top secret", then everybody involved in making this information public should be incarcerated.

Maybe if NASA would stop wasting their resources on Global Warming hysteria and try instead to focus on space they could begin to get it right again.

Except that we are paying for this incompetence with our tax dollars. That ain't funny at all.

The two spacecraft are critical to tracking ships that may conceal al Qaeda terrorists. The new spacecraft will also track Iranian and Chinese sea-based military operations.
Nope no connection here.

The flight was the first NRO secret mission for the new Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle.Well, there's your problem, we all know rockets require Intelligent Design.
To: anymouse
It sounds like a cover story to me. Most likely the writer does not know what the planned orbit was supposed to be, since that would be part of the “Top Secret” mission.
Maybe the payload(s) are still in their transfer orbits?
