US Space Force GPS III Launch

The U.S. Space Force has been launching GPS III satellites as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the Global Positioning System.

The most recent launch occurred on December 16, 2024, when SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched the GPS III SV-07 satellite from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

Prior to this, the fifth GPS III satellite (SV05) was launched in June 2021, marking the first time a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was reflown for a National Security Space Launch mission.

The sixth GPS III satellite (SV06) was launched on January 18, 2023, also from Cape Canaveral.

These launches are part of the Space Force’s efforts to maintain and improve the GPS constellation, which currently consists of 31 satellites, with each new satellite capable of broadcasting the GPS Military Code (M-Code) to enhance anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities.
