Bruce Carlson (right), Boeing technical advisor, and Mike O’Brine (center), Aerospace Corporation, send the final command to dispose of Global Positioning System Satellite Vehicle Number 23 at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Friday, Aug. 26, 2016. Both of them were on the operations floor November 1990, when the satellite initially launched and when the solar array stopped working. They, along with the operators working, saved the satellite by tweaking its operating mode, and extended its life to 25 years. (U.S. Air Force photo/2nd Lt. Darren Domingo)
