The U.S. Navy's fourth Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) communications satellite, was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on September 2. The MUOS is encapsulated in a 5-meter payload fairing and is a next-generation narrow band tactical satellite communications system designed to significantly improve beyond-line-of-sight communications for U.S. forces on the move.
