The MUOS-3 mission patch is circular star-shaped with an inner and outer star. The anchor represents the NAVY’s efforts and lead developer for the MUOS program. It is seen resting on sand in outer space with a rope connecting to the launch site in Cape Canaveral. The Atlas V 551 is shown leaving the earth on its way to delivering MUOS-3 to its designated orbit. The earth is pictured near the center. The Atlas A logo is displayed to the left of the earth representing ULA’s efforts. The 5 red stars represent the 5th Space Launch Squadron and their ef-forts. The mission name and vehicle tail number are inscribed along the top and bottom of the patch
The U.S. Navy contracted United Launch Alliance to launch a Mobile User Objective System satellite aboard an Atlas V launch vehicle.
Officials say the launch services deal will deliver the Navy's first Mobile User Objective System, which will enable improved communications including simultaneous voice, video and data for U.S. forces in the field. Officials say the MUOS satellite will be aboard an Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle expected to launch in 2010 from the ULA complex at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
The MUOS, a program managed by U.S. company Lockheed Martin Space Systems, will also improve service to the Navy's ultra high frequency follow-on system currently in orbit with next-generation narrowband tactical satellite communications.
"United Launch Alliance is proud to continue our long partnership with the Navy, which includes the successful launch of four UHF F/O satellites on Atlas within the last decade," Jim Sponnick, ULA vice president of Atlas programs, said in a statement. "Cost-effective assured access to space is our continuing commitment to the U.S. government, and we are looking forward to working with the Air Force, the Navy and Lockheed Martin Space Systems to launch this latest technology for the mobile warfighter."
