Notes
-----
1. NORAD Catalog Number is also known as U.S. Space Command
(USSPACECOM)
object number and NASA catalog number.
2. No orbital plane position = satellite no longer operational.
3. Clock: Rb = Rubidium; Cs = Cesium.
4. Selective Availability (S/A) had been enabled on Block II
satellites during
part of 1990; S/A off between about 10 August 1990 and 1 July 1991
due to
Gulf crisis; standard level re-implemented on 15 November 1991;
occasionally off for test and other purposes. S/A was set to 0 on
all
satellites by presidential order on 2 May 2000 at approximately
04:00 UT.
5. Anti-spoofing (A-S) was activated on 31 January 1994 at 00:00 UT on
all
Block II satellites (ref. NANU 050-94042); occasionally off for
test and
other purposes.
6. Decommissioning dates:
The decommissioning date for PRN06/SVN03 is the date of termination
of
operations of this satellite (ref. USNO) and is about 3 weeks later
than
other published dates for "deactivation".
See earlier Navstar GPS Constellation Status reports for
information on
the decommissioning of inactive satellites. The PRN numbers of
decommissioned satellites are re-assigned to new satellites.
7. PRN number of SVN32 was changed from 32 to 01 on 28 January 1993.
8. PRN05 and PRN06 are equipped with corner-cube reflectors for
satellite
laser ranging (SLR). SLR tracking of the satellites will permit
onboard
clock errors and satellite ephemeris errors in GPS tracking to be
differentiated.
9. PRN27/SVN27 active clock switched from Rb1 to Cs4 on 20 May 2005
(refs. NANU
2005092 and NGA).
10. PRN31/SVN31 was set unhealthy on 28 December 2004 at 00:42 UT and
was to
remain unusable unless an operational need required 2SOPS to set it
healthy
(ref. NANU 2004148 and USNO). It was set healthy on 4 April 2005 at
09:13 UT
(ref. NANU 2005041). Set unhealthy again on 14 April 2005 at 16:34
UT until
further notice (ref. NANU 2005055). Active clock switched from Rb1
to Cs3 on
24 June 2005 (NGA).
11. Constellation plot:
<http://gge.unb.ca/Resources/GPSConstellationPlot.pdf>.
12. The next scheduled GPS satellite launches are (ref. Spaceflight Now
and
NGA):
IIR-14/M-1 17/53 No earlier than August 2005
IIR-15/M-2 15/55 Late 2005 or early 2006
IIR-16/M-3 ??/57 Possibly April 2006
