Tonight at 5:38
Should be a good show.
May 15 Atlas 5 • GPS 2F-4
Launch window: 2138-2156 GMT (5:38-5:56 p.m. EDT)
Launch site: SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida
A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket, designated AV-039, will deploy the Air Force's fourth Block 2F navigation satellite for the Global Positioning System. The rocket will fly in the 401 vehicle configuration with a four-meter fairing, no solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage. Delayed from March. See our Mission Status Center.
The Atlas was developed to be a nuclear armed ICBM.
Swords into ploughshares in the truest sense.
Does anyone know if old GPS receivers - L1 & L1/L2 need any new firmware to read those signals?
I have some old Topcons, Sokkias before 2007 that I have not bothered updating their firmwares since I bought them.
