Last Delta II Launch of GPS Satellite Successful

The final launch of a Delta II launch vehicle carrying a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite was successfully carried out today. Several more flights of the Delta II are scheduled through 2011 by United Launch Alliance, but this is the last to carry a GPS satellite. Newer GPS satellites need larger boosters in the Delta IV or Atlas V class.
