The US military has finally launched its most powerful Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite into space after delaying the operation several times.
SpaceX, a private space firm, put the roughly $500 million US Air Force into orbit on board the Falcon 9 delivery vehicle from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Sunday.
Heather Wilson, secretary of the Air Force, said the “next-generation†GPS satellite was three times more accurate than all previous versions and eight times better at countering jamming and other electronic warfare tactics.
