Payload 2002-001A for the very first launch in this year was designated on OIG as USA-164, but I am unable to find out in my files entry for USA-163. The last American military satellite was USA-162 AKA 2001-046A, launched on 2001-10-11 02:32 UT. Or am I missing something? This should be probably considered as another misleading attempt from OIG to create a wrong common name, huh? :-)) PS. Congrats to fellows in western USA for observing the fuel dump on GSO! Mgr.
