– I have boldly moved USA-349 to USSF-52 as USA-349 is a speculative neologism not seen printed in other sources. As has been discussed before, OTV-"X" seems to in more common use than USA-"XXX". OTV-"X" is preferred by Space.com. USSF-"XX" is also in use for OTV-7 and OTV-8, so this is another possibility. Schierbecker (talk) 21:54, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
 * USSF-52 → OTV-7
 * USA-299 → OTV-6
 * USA-277 → OTV-5
 * USA-261 → OTV-4
 * USA-240 → OTV-3
 * USA-226 → OTV-2
 * USA-212 → OTV-1


 * Support OTV-7 is the mission name on X-37's wiki page. Move for sake of consistency. Stoplookin9 (talk) 03:39, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Schierbecker@Stoplookin9 I totally abide by you but why did we removed the long links of USA-349,etc they are used in many articles please bring back the redirect or permit me here to redirect them. Many pages like List of USA satellites, List of spaceflight launches in July–December 2023 use them. 122.187.144.98 (talk) 17:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Also i the creator of this page used C name as the next mission in sequential order of the usa satellites. No more usa satellites mission this year and that too before ussf-52 122.187.144.98 (talk) 17:42, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have updated all the wikilinks to avoid the red link. I don't see any reliable sources that call it USA-349. I deleted the redirect per WP:CRYSTAL. Perhaps the Space Force is moving away from the "USA"-series nomenclature for their second X-37 launch.
 * Note: WikiProject Military history has been notified of this discussion. Schierbecker (talk) 17:54, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Who told you that for List of USA satellites. They get such designations from spacetrack, etc that give coaspar id, satcom,etc. There they are listed same way like Russian designations of kosmos. 122.187.144.98 (talk) 19:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * See some satellite movement jotdowners like planet4589.org or https://www.n2yo.com/browse/?y=2023&m=9 who listed usa-348 as that only not by nrol designation at https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=57838 . 122.187.144.98 (talk) 20:03, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know what relevance USA-348 has to USA-349. Just because one satellite follows one naming scheme doesn't mean all other satellites will follow that convention. See: Problem of induction Schierbecker (talk) 19:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
