USA-282, also known as SBIRS-GEO 4, is an American military satellite and part of the Space-Based Infrared System. It was launched on January 20, 2018 from Cape Canaveral, atop an Atlas V rocket.

Overview

The SBIRS satellites are a replacement for the Defense Support Program early warning system. They are intended to detect ballistic missile launches, as well as various other events in the infrared spectrum, including nuclear explosions, aircraft flights, space object entries and reentries, wildfires and spacecraft launches.

SBIRS-GEO 4 was manufactured by Lockheed Martin and is built upon the A2100M satellite bus. The Atlas V launch vehicle used for SBIRS-GEO 4 flew with a strap-on booster, a different configuration from the previous three SBIRS-GEO launches. This was done as part of a space debris mitigation effort, to allow the Centaur upper stage to preserve sufficient fuel for a deorbit burn.[2]

The Air Force announced the satellite was operating as expected and had established initial communication with it.[2]
