GPS SV 03 Liftoff

A Falcon 9 launch vehicle carrying GPS III SV 03 lifts off from Space Launch Complex - 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, June 30. The first-stage booster of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Launch Vehicle was successfully recovered approximately 20 minutes after liftoff by the company’s autonomous drone ship. This launch marks the first NSSL mission where a launch provider has attempted to recovered flight hardware. SV03 will join the current GPS constellation comprised of 31-operational spacecraft, and will be the 22nd military code-capable satellite added to the fleet. (Photo courtesy of SpaceX)

GPS III SV 3 Encapsulation

The GPS III SV03 satellite is encapsulated within a SpaceX payload fairing June 21 in preparation for its upcoming launch. Encapsulation protects the satellite against the impact of dynamic pressure and aerodynamic heating during its journey through the earth’s atmosphere, and supports the satellite’s ability to communicate until separation from the launch vehicle on-orbit. GPS III SV 03 is set to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, June 30 The 15-minute launch window opens at 3:55 p.m. EDT. (Photo courtesy of SpaceX)
