Navstar 47
-GPS Satellite
Navstar 47 was the latest addition to the American GPS fleet of navigation satellites, and was launched by a Delta 2 rocket from Cape Canaveral. The 24-spacecraft fleet was completed in 1994, but Navstar 47 replaced a failing member. GPS navigational location had until recently been at 100 meter accuracy for civilian use signals, and at 20 meter accuracy for military use signals.
