SpaceX successfully launched an advanced GPS satellite for the U.S.
Space Force on Thursday (June 17), marking the 19th launch of the year here on the Space Coast.
Today's flight marks the fourth GPS satellite delivery by
SpaceX for the U.S. military. Three previous advanced GPS III missions also launched on Falcon 9 rockets, including two missions last year. Another of the satellites launched in August 2019 on the United Launch Alliance's final flight of the Delta IV Medium rocket.
