First modernized GPS satellite Launched 221
A reader writes "The first GPS 2R-M satellite has launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on top of a Boeing Delta 2 rocket. The government is now competing with Europe's Galileo system, and has added two additional military channels and one civilian channel, which will increase the accuracy and performance of GPS - as well as increase its resistance to jamming."

According to one of the press conference questions:
"We are not going to confirm the content of the new channel at this time. We can state, however, that due to recent FCC regulations affecting our public broadcast, we will not be including Howard Stern for the initial lineup."
I hope this helps.
