Al cincilea si totodata penultimul satelit al seriei AEHF (Advanced Extreme High Frequency Satellite) a fost lansat pe 8 august de o racheta Atlas 5 de la complexul 41 al bazei spatiale Cape Canaveral. Ca si la precedenta lansare, s-a folosit configuratia 551. Am avut parte de un zbor de 5 ore si 40 de minute pentru plasarea satelitului intr-o orbita GTO.

3D Navigation
Navigate and explore geographic data on 3D. We've created an interface to the Google Earth plugin that enables you to quickly access and explore locations
on Earth as well as in space. The rich interface allows you to easily switch or jump between the built-in coordinates on Earth, various planets, galaxies
and stars. The application will be under constant development and new locations and features will be added.
Currently available features provide the tools to visualize specific predefined coordinates like:
