Mission details:

• United Launch Alliance's Atlas V model 541 rocket, serial AV-045, took off from Cape Canaveral on Apr 10, 2014 carrying the NRO Launch 67 (NROL-67) payload. It appears likely that the Centaur stage made three burns to deploy the USA 250 payload in geosynchronous orbit. The payload is suspected to be a large NRO signals intelligence satellite.
