List of USA satellites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of satellites and spacecraft which have been given USA designations.[by whom?] These designations have been applied to most US military satellites since 1984, and replaced the earlier OPS designation. It is comparable to the Soviet/Russian Kosmos designation.
USA designations have been assigned to 231 space missions. For an unknown reason, the designation USA-163 has never been assigned.[1]
