UFO ( satellite ) The Ultra High Frequency Follow - On ( UFO ) system is a United States Department of Defense ( DOD ) program sponsored and operated by the U . S . Navy to provide communications for airborne , ship , submarine and ground forces . The UFO constellation replaced the U . S . DOD Fleet Satellite Communications System ( FLTSATCOM ) constellation and will consist of eleven satellites . The ground terminal segment consists of equipment and resident personnel at existing satellite communication stations . The spacecraft are controlled by the Naval Satellite Operations Center ( NAVSOC ) located at the Naval Air Station Point Mugu , CA . The UHF satellites will primarily serve tactical users . UFO provides almost twice as many channels as FLTSATCOM and has about 10 percent more power per channel . The EHF package on satellites four through eleven have an Earth coverage beam and a steerable five - degree spot beam that enhances its tactical use . The EHF capability also allows the UFO network to connect to the strategic Milstar system . Satellites eight , nine and ten also carry a Global Broadcast System in the Ka - Band . First launch of the UFO took place on 25 March 1993 , with constellation completion dependent on replacement needs for the aging FLTSATCOM constellation . The Atlas II is the current launch vehicle of choice ; however , space shuttle compatibility will exist . The UFO bus and payload weigh 2 , 300 pounds ( 1 . 04 tonne ) . The solar array spans 60 . 5 feet ( 18 . 4 m ) and produce 2 , 500 watts at the end of the planned 14 - year lifetime . The UHF system supports stationary and mobile users including manportable , ships , submarines , aircraft and other mobile terminals . The UFO Follow - on system is schedule for replacement by the Mobile User Objective System ( MUOS ) .

The U - Boat ' s commander , Oberleutnant zur See Heino von Heimburg , Prince Heinrich of Prussia , and " UB - 14 " s cook , a man by the name of Herzig , set out in a rowboat to observe the Turkish attempts to destroy " E7 " . After several mine s that formed part of the net had been detonated to no avail , von Heimburg and his group rowed out and repeatedly dropped a plumb line until it contacted metal .
