Mission Details
GPS III-8
GPS III (Global Positioning System) is the first evolution of the third generation of GPS satellites. The U.S. Air Force announced in May 2008 that a team led by Lockheed Martin had won the competition to build the next-generation Global Positioning System (Navstar) Space System program, known as GPS III.
This program will improve position, navigation, and timing services for warfighter and civil users worldwide and provide advanced anti-jam capabilities yielding superior system security, accuracy, and reliability.
When fully deployed, the GPS III constellation will feature a cross-linked command and control architecture, allowing the entire GPS constellation to be updated simultaneously from a single ground station. Additionally, a new spot beam capability for enhanced military (M-Code) coverage and increased resistance to hostile jamming will be incorporated. These enhancements will improve accuracy and ensure availability for military and civilian users worldwide.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, NOR... the closure of the Wilson Lock on the Tennessee River for repairs...  stays the Great Vulcan Rocket from traveling to the launch pad. (Barging via the auxiliary lock to rendezvous with Rocketship)

ULA's next Vulcan rocket is heading to Florida! This should be V-005 for the GPS III SV08 mission, which should be next after USSF-106 & 87. For GPS launches, Vulcan will be flying with 2 SRB's. While no launch target is known for GPS III SV08, I'm expecting it around summer.

ЦитироватьSpaceX is targeting Friday, May 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of the GPS III-7 (https://sxcontent9668.azureedge.us/cms-assets/assets/GPS_III_7_OL_63b4a33da7.png) mission to medium-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 15-minute window opens at 1:23 p.m. ET. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, May 31 during a 15-minute window that opens at 1:18 p.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX (https://twitter.com/SpaceX). You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

This is the fourth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-32, NROL-69, and a Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean...
