GPS IIF-12 satellite is now active
The last Block IIF satellite, launched on Feb. 9, is active. “All-in-view” tracking stations of the International GNSS Service (IGS) network have been receiving its signals since Feb 10.
The satellite’s designation is PRN32/SVN70. That PRN is already included in the analysis by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE).
The IGS orbit products will now cover 57 satellites (32 GPS plus 25 GLONASS).
