Launched from Complex 17A on a Delta 2 rocket with nine strap-on solid rocket boosters, the satellite, built by Lockheed Martin for the U.S. Air Force, will enter an orbit 11,000 miles above the earth.

Within two weeks, the satellite will be operational, giving improved navigation signals to military and civilian GPS units, which number in the tens of millions.
