Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 199: malformed pattern (missing ']'). USA-94, also known as GPS IIA-13, GPS II-22 and GPS SVN-35, was an American navigation satellite which formed part of the Global Positioning System. It was the thirteenth of nineteen Block IIA GPS satellites to be launched.

USA-94 was launched at 12:38:00 UTC on 30 August 1993, atop a Delta II carrier rocket, flight number D222, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration.[3] The launch took place from Launch Complex 17B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,[6] and placed USA-94 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37XFP apogee motor.[2]

On 1 October 1993, USA-94 was in an orbit with a perigee of 20,109 kilometres (12,495 mi), an apogee of 20,257 kilometres (12,587 mi), a period of 718 minutes, and 54.8 degrees of inclination to the equator.[5] It broadcast the PRN 30 signal, and operated in slot 4, and later 5, of plane B of the GPS constellation.[7] The satellite had a mass of 1,816 kilograms (4,004 lb) and a design life of 7.5 years.[2] It was decommissioned on 1 May 2013, after almost 20 years in orbit.[4]
