 Boeing has delivered the first of the next generation GPS spacecraft to Cape Canaveral.
After last years scare stories about the state of the GPS constellation and the delays to the new spacecraft we are happy to report that the programme to replace the old satellites and upgrade the constellation is back on track. The latest GPS system known as the GPS IIF are built by Boeing at their development centre in El Segundo California.
The GPS IIF satellites are designed to give a higher precision for SatNavs and better signals for commercial applications. The series is also designed to give better protection from jamming when used by the military in 'hostile environments'.
