News: Next GPS Satellite Launches on Thursday October 4th

This week on Thursday October 4th will see the launch of a Delta IV rocket carrying the third of the new family of GPS Satellites into space to strengthen both the public and military positioning services. The Delta IV rocket is scheduled to blast off at 8:10 am EDT (12:10pm GMT) on Thursday from SLC-37B on the USA Atlantic coast at Cape Canaveral.

The Navstar GPS IIF-3 spacecraft will join the constellation of GPS satellites replacing one of the older GPS satellites that has reached the end of its useful life. The GPS IIF satellites incorporate a number of features to improve the location capabilities of the technology. In particular these spacecraft have double the predicted signal accuracy than existing satellites, a new L5 signal for more reliable civil and commercial aircraft, the ability to be reprogrammed in space, and better resistance to jamming for the military side of the systems.
