I have been scratching my head, trying to fiqure out why the following site http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/gpscurr.html Says "The current GPS constellation consists of 30 Block II/IIA/IIR/IIR-M satellites". I got 29, when I was looking at data located at ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/gps/gpsb2.txt There's a black star beside IIA-17 ( PRN 29 ) which they say * Satellite is no longer in service " Wrong! I see it's operational, ie transmitting a signal:) I am getting a signal from it on my gps receiver. So that explains the missing one, I didn't included in a list I keep. I thought it was turned off, based on that " * Satellite is no longer in service " line. I was fooled by them, I am on to them now.
