Navstar 11

 1985-093A


Navstar 11 (SVN 11, PRN 3) was the last Rockwell Block I GPS launch. It was placed in the C plane. By this time, operations with GPS were being supervised by USAF Space Command. In Mar 1990 it was reported to be operating on the rubidium clock without temperature control. It was then rephased to an alternate position in the plane.
