USAF ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING GPSII SATELLITE
The first-ever GPS IIF space vehicle was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral AFS on 27 May 2010.
The GPS Wing historically executes an extended on-orbit checkout period for each new GPS space vehicle family to evaluate navigation signal performance and to baseline satellite operating characteristics. The GPS IIF satellite is currently in the middle of its checkout process, and civil signal monitoring is an integral part of the GPS Wing's L-Band Signal-in-Space (SIS) performance assessment.
The GPS Wing, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN), developed a small set of CNAV test vectors which will be broadcasted during this performance assessment. The CNAV Test Vectors are available for download. If civil users have questions regarding the test vectors or their use, they should be directed to NAVCEN.
