Air Force Space Command and Lockheed Martin officials gathered at Schriever AFB, Colo., recently to celebrate 50 years of cumulative operation for the Global Positioning System Block IIR. “Millions of people around the world can use GPS because of the hard work, dedication, and passion our GPS team brings to the fight everyday,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Hamilton, commander of the 2nd Space Operations Squadron at Schriever.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
