Through partnership with allies and industry, the United States Space Force is advancing critical space capabilities and enhancing flexibility and resiliency for National Security Space missions. The GPS III SV05 "ARMSTRONG" honors the American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person to step foot onto the moon during the famed National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) mission "Apollo 11". GPS III leveraged those partnerships to ensure the fifth GPS III space vehicle was successfully integrated on a launch vehicle and delivered to orbit. GPS III SV05 is the first National Security Space mission launched on previously flown hardware.
