USA-175 was launched at 08:05:00 UTC on 21 December 2003, atop a Delta II carrier rocket, flight number D302, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration.[3] The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 17A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,[5] and placed USA-175 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-48 apogee motor.[2]
By 22 February 2004, USA-175 was in an orbit with a perigee of 20,043 kilometres (12,454 mi), an apogee of 20,319 kilometres (12,626 mi), a period of 717.92 minutes, and 55.1 degrees of inclination to the equator.[4] It is used to broadcast the PRN 22 signal, and operates in slot 2 of plane E of the GPS constellation. The satellite has a mass of 2,032 kilograms (4,480 lb), and a design life of 10 years.[2] It was decommissioned in January of 2022, per the USCG Nanu 2022001.[6]
