Delta II Keeps GPS Constellation Healthy

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., June 23, 2004 -- A Boeing Delta II rocket successfully deployed to space a replacement satellite for the U.S. Air Force's Global Positioning System (GPS) today. The launch of GPS IIR-12 aboard a three-stage Delta II launch vehicle occurred from Space Launch Complex 17B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., at 6:54 p.m. EDT. Following a 26-minute flight, the spacecraft was injected to a transfer orbit from a descending deployment flight profile. Once operational, GPS IIR-12 will support U.S. military missions and provide a wide variety of civilian directional guidance services.
