Third In New Series Of
Navigational Satellites
Launched Into Orbit
The third in a new series of navi- gational satellites for the Global Po- sitioning System (GPS) was suc- cessfully launched into orbit from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., on a U.S. Air
Force Delta II rocket.
According to Magnavox Ad- vanced Products & Systems Compa- ny, Torrance, Calif., a leading man- ufacturer of GPS user equipment, this was the third production-model
Block II satellite to go into orbit this year. The Block II satellites are sup- plementing the existing partial con- stellation of six operational proto- type Block I satellites.
Eventually, there will be 21 active satellites in the Global Positioning
System, providing constant updates in real-time of geographical location for ships, aircraft, land vehicles and even individuals. It will be used by
U.S. and allied military forces, and also, in a slightly less accurate form, by civilian users.
According to a "White Paper" issued by Magnavox, there should be enough Block I and Block II sat- ellites in orbit to provide worldwide uninterrupted coverage for surface navigation by mid-1991.
Magnavox Advanced Products &
Systems Company is a leading man- ufacturer of GPS navigational equipment. The company offers a full family of GPS products, includ- ing extremely precise survey-quality systems, military systems and gen- eral marine GPS navigation receiv- ers. The company reports that there is a considerable demand of GPS equipment, even though full world- wide availability is still more than a year away.
