I've talked with Ruth (who's currently on travel) and colleagues from NASA Headquarters and the U.S. Department of Transportation, who have all clarified that the launch has been delayed due to a technical issue with the navigation payload. When this is resolved, the launch will occur (expected in the June time frame). The U.S. policy and commitment to GPS upgrades including L2C and L5 remain unchanged. I'm aware of plans within the IGS to track the L2C signal with available equipment and publish the data, as soon as the signal is activated. Best regards, Angie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angelyn W.
