SpaceX to launch GPS III SV10 for US Space Force from Cape Canaveral
TL;DR
SpaceX will launch GPS III SV10, the 10th and final GPS III satellite for the U.S. Space Force, from Cape Canaveral aboard a Falcon 9. GPS III SV10 delivers a threefold boost in positional accuracy and eightfold jam resistance; liftoff will occur within a 15-minute window opening at 2:57 a.m. EDT, with SV10 deployed into medium Earth orbit roughly 90 minutes after liftoff. The launch follows the Space Force’s decision to move the mission from a Vulcan Centaur due to booster issues, and SpaceX will provide live coverage of the flight.
