another of the IIR series of GPS. Delta rocket launches satellite into space from Cape Canaveral The Associated Press --------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A Boeing Delta 2 rocket blasted off Friday, carrying another global positioning satellite into space. The new 4,540-pound satellite will be used by the military and civilians to provide navigation and timing data. Seven of Boeings Delta rockets have been launched this year. The launch was delayed earlier in the week due to technical difficulties and foul weather, Boeing spokesman Michael Rein said. The $75 million satellite will replace another craft that was put into place in 1993. The older craft will be used as a backup. Copyright Associated Press. All rights reserved.
