U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) and Space Operations Command (SpOC) announce the expected launch of the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) GPS III-7 mission, Space Vehicle 08 (SV-08), with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., no earlier than the end of May 2025.

The GPS III satellite, equipped with M-Code technology, provides the warfighter with a capability that is three-times more accurate, and eight-times more resistant to jamming. This effort ensures rapid delivery of modernized Precision, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities to the Joint Force.
