    Another nice nightime launch:)
    
    They say the satellite was injected into an orbit with apogee of 19,406.8 nautical miles, a
    perigee of 98.9 nautical miles and inclination of 24.8 degrees. 
    
    So look out for another flashing satellite, since atlas centaur's make nicer flashing satellites.
