Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with the U.S. Space Force RRT-1 mission, thought to be a third-generation GPS satellite. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral...
GPS-III (Global Positioning System) is the first evolution stage of the third generation of the GPS satellites. It consists of the first ten (known as "tranche") of GPS III satellites. This spacecraft was original contracted to launch on United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket, and was reassigned to Falcon 9 following uncertainties in Vulcan's readiness to launch. As a result it was re-manifested within 6 months of launch under the name Rapid Response Trailblazer-1 (RRT-1). GPS III SV10, originally planned to launch on Falcon 9, will now launch on Vulcan instead.

Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The Block 5 variant is the fifth major interval aimed at improving upon the ability for rapid reusability.
See DetailsThe Falcon 9 1st stage B1085 has landed on ASDS ASOG after its 4th flight.
Result: Successful Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship landing at A Shortfall of Gravitas.Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
