MEDIA ADVISORY
RELEASE #081716
Launch Window Opens: 12:47 a.m. August 19
45th SW to support Delta IV AFSPC-6 launch
By 45th Space Wing Public Affairs
CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla. - The U.S. Air Force’s 45th Space Wing will support the United Launch Alliance launch of the third and fourth Orbital ATK-built Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program satellites aboard a Delta IV rocket from Space Launch Complex 37B here with a launch window opening August 19 at 12:47 a.m. ET.
The AFSPC-6 mission will deliver two GSSAP satellites into orbit to further the space situational awareness mission. Operated by Air Force Space Command, the GSSAP System provides precise data seven days a week, 24-hours a day. The satellites join a GSSAP constellation currently supporting U.S. Strategic Command space surveillance operations as a dedicated Space Surveillance Network sensor.
The GSSAP also supports the Joint Functional Component Commander for Space by collecting space situational awareness data, allowing for more accurate tracking and characterization of man-made orbiting objects.

Delta IV AFSPC-6 Mission Profile
United Launch Alliance
Published on Aug 18, 2016
AFSPC-6 will deliver two Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites to near-geosynchronous orbit. The twin GSSAP spacecraft, built by Orbital ATK, will support U.S. Strategic Command space enhanced awareness operations. Data from GSSAP will uniquely contribute to timely and accurate orbital predictions, enhancing our knowledge of the geosynchronous orbit environment, and further enabling space flight safety to include satellite collision avoidance.

Ted Molczan pre-launch predicted elements. As stated in the preview story, observers in the US witnessed the post-geo insertion burn venting at launch +6 hours 57 minutes after the first GSSAP launch.
