Hello-

The Delta 2 booster carrying GPS IIR-9 lifted off from Cape Canaeral on 31
March at 5:09 p.m. EST, after a brief delay.  This is the second launch in
2003.  This latest addition to the constellation is SVN 45 and will go into
the D Plane, Slot 3, where it will share the slot with SVN 17.
More details will follow.
