GPS Block 2 and 2A
Part of Navstar
GPS IIA in assembly Credit: Hughes |
American navigation satellite. The Navstar GPS constellation worked in concert with ground receivers to give precise location information to military and civilian users anywhere in the world.
AKA: Global Positioning System;Navstar. Status: Operational 1989. First Launch: 1989-02-14. Last Launch: 1997-11-06. Number: 28 . Gross mass: 1,665 kg (3,670 lb). Height: 3.40 m (11.10 ft). Span: 5.30 m (17.30 ft).
Use of GPS receivers revolutionized civilian and military operations of every kind by providing precise location information. GPS Block 2 was the Operational system, following the Demonstration system comprised of Block 1 spacecraft. The Block 2A were "Advanced" versions of this spacecraft (mass 1816 kg). The complete basic constellation had 24 spacecraft in 6 high-altitude orbit planes. (4 slots per plane). In addition, on-orbit spares were placed in some planes in a fifth slot.
The spacecraft was 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied 710 watts (EOL). S-Band (SGLS) communications were used for control and telemetry. A UHF channel provided cross-links between spacecraft. A hydrazine propulsion system was used for orbital correction. The payload included two L-Band navigation signals at 1575.42 MHz (L1) and 1227.60 MHz (L2). Each spacecraft carried 2 rubidium and 2 cesium clocks. Also carried were nuclear detonation detection sensors.
Launches were originally scheduled for Proton, Atlas, and Delta. Satellite costs $ 50 million for Block 2 and $ 40 million for Block 2A. Rockwell was the prime contractor, building a single Block 2 SVN 12 qualification vehicle under a 1981amendment to the Block I contract. This was followed in 1983 with a contract for 28 Block 2 and 2A satellites.
