Correction: This website and the September issue of GPS World magazine mistakenly reported that SVN-63, the second IIF satellite, had been set operational on August 23. This is not the case. As of September 29, the satellite is still not set healthy to users.The 50th Space Wing’s 2nd Space Operations Squadron accepted command and control of the second Global Positioning System Block IIF satellite on August 19, and set it operational on August 23. The Space and Missile Systems Center’s GPS Directorate, located at Los Angeles Air Force Base, remained in control of the satellite during a 30-day on-orbit checkout period before the hand-off to 2 SOPS.
