Status: Active. First Launch: 2006-04-20. Last Launch: 2011-04-15. Number: 3 . Payload: 8,763 kg (19,319 lb). Thrust: 5,188.00 kN (1,166,308 lbf). Gross mass: 386,800 kg (852,700 lb). Height: 59.10 m (193.80 ft). Diameter: 3.81 m (12.49 ft). Span: 5.36 m (17.58 ft).

Family: orbital launch vehicle. Country: USA. Spacecraft: Intruder, AS 2100, Jumpseat-2. Launch Vehicles: Raven. Projects: Astra. Launch Sites: Cape Canaveral, Vandenberg, Vandenberg SLC3E, Cape Canaveral LC41. Stages: Atlas CCB, Aerojet SRB, Centaur V1. Agency: Martin.

• Astra 1KR - . Payload: A2100AXS. Mass: 4,332 kg (9,550 lb). Nation: Luxembourg. Agency: SES. Manufacturer: Lockheed. Program: Astra. Class: Communications. Type: Civilian communications satellite. Spacecraft Bus: AS 2100. Spacecraft: AS 2100. USAF Sat Cat: 29055 . COSPAR: 2006-012A. Apogee: 35,696 km (22,180 mi). Perigee: 35,631 km (22,140 mi). Inclination: 0.1000 deg. Period: 1,429.80 min.

  The first Centaur upper stage burn placed the stack into a 167 km x 22442 km x 24.8 deg transfer orbit. After a second burn the Centaur released the satellite into a 6470 km x 36240 km x 23.8 deg orbit, from which it would use its own engine to achieve final geosynchronous orbit. As of 2007 Mar 10 located at 19.18E drifting at 0.022W degrees per day.

• USA 200 - . Payload: Raven 5 / NROL-28. Nation: USA. Agency: Martin. Class: Surveillance. Type: ELINT. Spacecraft Bus: Raven satellite. Spacecraft: Raven satellite. USAF Sat Cat: 32706 . COSPAR: 2008-010A. Apogee: 35,780 km (22,230 mi). Perigee: 1,112 km (690 mi). Inclination: 63.6000 deg. Period: 720.00 min.

  Classified National Reconnaisance Office satellite placed in a Molniya orbit; orbital parameters are estimated. Believed to be the second in a new series carrying combined signals intelligence and early warning payloads. Probable sensors included the SBIRS HEO-2 infrared missile early warning package and the NASA/Los Alamos TWINS-B magnetospheric research payload.
