Congrats to Lockheed Martin and their NRO customer!
We're good through the second burn of Centaur. Long coast and then a 3rd Centaur burn to come.

Way to go NRO!
Here's to hoping it sits in stationary orbit right over Pyongyang.

hmmm, that site says they won't announce failure or success of mission, which is different from most classified launches. Probably don't want to give away the timing of orbit insertion, which means it's probably an inflatable 'stealth' sat.

I saw it! At 12:30 AM this morning I was heading home to hit the hay when I saw to the north what looked like an orange meteorite traveling very slowly with a large trail of fire and smoke. I was worried that maybe a sattelite fell out of orbit. Now I know!

Great news. Cool site too.

years ago I used to watch (from a great distance) the after affects of spy satelites being launched from Vandenburg on the California coast. Quite a site to see.

It's not "top secret" anymore if it's being publicized on an internet site!

This is the last Titan 4B [Titan-Centaur] launch. Interesting to see what the AF will do for heavy-lift with Centaur from now on.
