ULA Atlas V GPS IIF-12 Launch Set for February 5

The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the GPS IIF-12 mission is set to launch on Feb. 5. The integrated launch team has addressed the concerns over the integrity of electrical connectors on the Atlas V booster and developed a path towards launch.

The GPS IIF-12 spacecraft mate to the Atlas V launch vehicle is on track to support a Feb. 5 launch. The mission is set to liftoff off from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
