In the meantime, five more GPS III satellites are in production. Three of them are fully built and undergoing tests. Lockheed Martin says the fifth satellite is ready to go.

The launch is scheduled for 9:43pm et, on top of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force station in Florida. Spacex still plans to recover the Falcon 9 following the flight and will attempt to land the rocket on one of the company’s floating drone ships in the Atlantic Ocean.
