CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A Boeing Delta 2 rocket blasted off Monday, carrying another global positioning satellite into space.

The satellite should be operational 11,000 miles above Earth after about a month of tests. It will be used by the military and civilians to provide navigation and timing data.
