NORAD Catalog Number is also known as U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM) object number and NASA catalog number. 2. No orbital plane position = satellite decommissioned from operational service. 3. Clock: Rb = Rubidium; Cs = Cesium. 4. Selective Availability (S/A) had been enabled on Block II satellites during part of 1990; S/A off between about 10 August 1990 and 1 July 1991 due to Gulf crisis; standard level re-implemented on 15 November 1991; occasionally off for test and other purposes. S/A was set to 0 on all satellites by presidential order on 2 May 2000 at approximately 04:00 UT. 5. Anti-spoofing (A-S) was activated on 31 January 1994 at 00:00 UT on all Block II satellites (ref. NANU 050-94042); occasionally off for test and other purposes. 6. Availability dates: These are the dates when a particular satellite is set healthy following launch. Typically these dates are days to weeks after the L-band transmitters first become active. 7. Decommissioning dates: The decommissioning date for PRN06/SVN03 is the date of termination of operations of this satellite (ref. USNO) and is about 3 weeks later than other published dates for "deactivation". See earlier Navstar GPS Constellation Status reports for information on the decommissioning of inactive satellites. The PRN numbers of decommissioned satellites are re-assigned to new satellites. 8. PRN number of SVN32 was changed from 32 to 01 on 28 January 1993. 9. Note that over the years, certain PRN codes have been reused by different satellites. In particular, several satellites have used PRN01 codes at different times, either operationally or for tests: SVN32 92-12-11 to 08-03-17 and 08-09-24 to 08-10-16 SVN37 08-10-23 to 09-01-06 SVN49 09-03-28 continues 10. PRN05/SVN35 and PRN06/SVN36 are equipped with corner-cube reflectors for satellite laser ranging (SLR). SLR tracking of the satellites will permit onboard clock errors and satellite ephemeris errors in GPS tracking to be differentiated. SVN35/PRN05 was decommissioned from active service on 26 March 2009. 11. PRN01/SVN32, which had been decommissioned from active service on 17 March 2008, resumed transmitting L-band signals, still as PRN01, on 24 September 2008. The satellite was set unhealthy and not included in almanacs (ref. NANU 2008111). L-band transmissions were discontinued on 16 October 2008 (ref. NANU 2008130). It remains a "reserve" satellite. 12. SVN37, which had been decommissioned from active service on 20 December 2007, resumed transmitting L-band signals as PRN01 on 23 October 2008 (ref. NANU 2008131). The satellite stopped transmitting L-band signals on 6 January 2009 (ref. NANU 2009001). The satellite was not set healthy during this period and was not included in almanacs. It remains a "reserve" satellite. 13. PRN05/SVN35 was set unusable on 26 March 2009 at 13:20 UT. It was decommissioned from active service on 26 March 2009 at 20:31 UT (ref. NANU 2009023). L-band transmissions continued until 8 June 2009 (ref. IGS). It remains a "reserve" satellite. 14. PRN01/SVN49 was launched on 24 March 2009. L1/L2 transmissions began on 28 March 2009. L5 transmissions began on 10 April 2009. The satellite remains set unhealthy until an L1/L2 satellite multipath issue is resolved. The satellite is currently colocated with PRN30/SVN30. 15. PRN05/SVN50 was launched on 17 August 2009. L1/L2 transmissions began on 21 August 2009. The satellite was set healthy on 27 August 2009 at 14:40 UT (ref. NANUs 2009053 and 2009055). 16. PRN08/SVN38 active clock switched from Cs3 to Rb1 on 15 October 2009 (ref. NGA and NANU 2009103). 17. PRN10/SVN40, previously a prime satellite in orbital slot E-3 has undergone a delta-V to position it further away from PRN05/SVN50, which has taken over the E-3 slot (ref. NGA and NANU 2009074). 18. PRN24/SVN24 was transitioned out of the broadcast almanac beginning on 12 September 2009. However, there has been no official announcement that the satellite has been decommissioned and it is still transmitting valid L-band signals and ephemerides although set unhealthy (ref. NANU 2009065). 19. PRN25/SVN25 was set unusable and decommissioned from active service on 20 August 2009 at 15:14 UT. The L-band transmitters kept operating and the satellite was returned to active service on 12 September 2009 at 22:12 UT as it had been established that the satellite would be a better one for active service than PRN24/SVN24 (ref. NANUs 2009054, 2009065, 2009067). 20. Constellation plot: . 21. The next scheduled GPS satellite launch is (ref. Spaceflight Now): IIF-1 NET May 2010 22. Compiled by Richard B.
