+PDOP's Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 Some good photos can be found at Lockheed Martin's website. The satellite, designated GPS IIR-10, features significant performance upgrades, including an advanced antenna panel, which will increase power for GPS receivers. It's scheduled to launched December 21st. Quote
Kerry. Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 IIR-10 had been slated back in June for an early October launch then it got moved to late Oct then further delayed and still not off the deck. Actually GPSIIR-11 was originally set for Dec 19 launch and now being put further behind probably makes the first IIR-M launch (originally set for April 04) even further down the track. The IIR-M's will be the real start of something new. Cheers, Kerry. Quote
