28-Oct-02 | Next launch
The next Delta launch from Cape Canaveral will be another Air Force launch of a NAVSTAR GPS replenishment satellite. A secondary payload on this flight will be an Air Force experimental microsatellite, known as XSS-10, that is part of a program intended to evaluate the use of microsatellites for rendezvous, inspection, and maintenance of on-orbit satellites. After ejecting from the Delta second stage, XSS-10 will perform an autonomous inspection sequence around the booster.
