It takes a lot of teamwork and hard effort from many individuals -- and even different branches of military service to pull off a successful mission. The upcoming mid-December launch of GPS III SV-01, named "Vespucci" in honor of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci for whom the Americas were named, is no different.
Many milestones, checklists and deadlines have to be met well in
advance before a final thumbs up can be given that a satellite or launch vehicle are "Go for Launch."
Lt. Col. Erin Gulden, GPS III program manager, Capt. S. Kyle Futch, GPS III mission operations test lead, and U.S. Navy Cmdr. Kyle (callsign: "Dream") Weaver, GPS liaison for the Space and Missile Systems Center and the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), based in San Diego discuss what it takes to
lead and grow a new generation of young talent who are now standing on the shoulders of giants.
Together, the past and present are bringing about the future of GPS III, one of the most successful satellite programs the Air Force
has operated for the warfighter as well as the civilian world.
