The Air Force stated that routine early orbit checkout procedures determined that the signals from the Lockheed-built GPS IIR-2 (M), which was launched in March, were inconsistent with the performance of other GPS IIR-M satellites.

The Air Force said it has identified several parameters in the GPS IIR-20 (M)'s navigation message that can be corrected to bring the satellite into compliance with current GPS Performance Standards."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>This comment is <i>mind-numbingly</i> stupid.<br> <br>

Do you walk to work because you refuse to use the "crutch" of a car, bicycle, or mass transit?  Do you grow your own food because you refuse to use the "crutch" of modern agricultural practices?  Do you refuse medicine because you refuse to use the "crutch" of modern sterile techniques?  Do you live in a cave because you refuse to use the "crutch" provided by the building trades?<br> <br>

GPS, calculators, google maps, the road map, and the car you're driving are all conveniences - assistive technologies designed to make hard work easy.  They're not always perfect, but for everyday use, they're reliable unless you seriously have trouble with simple instructions like "Turn left in 200 meters."<br> <br>

If you want to perform a geographical survey every time you leave the house, be my guest, but let's not pretend you're anything but a reactionary luddite in doing so.</htmltext>
