This launch is currently scheduled to happen in July. Anybody know what PAN is and for who ULA is launching this?
Only thing listed for A-V in July is a DSMP flight.
"PAN" probably stands for something. If we could work out what, it would probably give us a better chance.Any guesses?

I commend whoever came up with that, and wish the flight the best of luck.
you know, PAN also translates from the greek as "all" -- pantheon == temple to all gods, pandemic == worldwide epidemic

"Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor for the PAN mission, which includes a commercial-based satellite and launch system solution for the U.S. Government," the company said in a statement.
