    USA 103 is a classified Trumpet ELINT/SIGINT sat. That huge thing on top is
    its receiving parabolic dish, taking care of the "listening" part of its
    operation. The downlink dish is the comparably "small" one below. If you
    check the other Trumpets and Advanced Orions on that site, you'll get views
    on the same 3D model from different angles, some show the whole assembly
    somewhat better than this particular example.
