USA-192 , also known as GPS IIR-16(M) , GPS IIRM-3 and GPS SVN-58 , is an American navigation satellite which forms part of the Global Positioning System . It was the third of eight Block IIRM satellites to be launched, and the sixteenth of twenty one Block IIR satellites overall. It was built by Lockheed Martin , using the AS-4000 satellite bus . [2]
USA-192 was launched at 19:12:00 UTC on 17 November 2006, atop a Delta II carrier rocket, flight number D321, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration. [3] The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 17A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station , [5] and placed USA-192 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37FM apogee motor . [2]
By 17 January 2007, USA-192 was in an orbit with a perigee of 20,087 kilometers (12,481 mi) , an apogee of 20,277 kilometers (12,600 mi) , a period of 717.96 minutes, and 55 degrees of inclination to the equator. [4] It is used to broadcast the PRN 12 signal, and operates in slot 4 of plane B of the GPS constellation. The satellite has a mass of 2,032 kilograms (4,480 lb) , and a design life of 10 years. [2] As of 2019 it remains in service.
