DJ US Air Force Launches Satellite To Help In War On Terror 01/29/2003 Dow Jones News Services (Copyright © 2003 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)--The U.S. Air Force put a Global Positioning System satellite into orbit Wednesday to help with the war on terror. The satellite will join 26 other GPS spacecraft circling Earth and providing the military and civilians with precise navigational information. "We believe that GPS spacecraft is going to play a huge role in the war on terrorism," said Air Force Lt. Col. Brad Broemmel, the launch director. The $90 million GPS mission was delayed in October after the rocket was damaged in a launch pad accident. Because of miscommunication, a crane operator tried lifting the upper portion of the rocket after it had already been bolted down. The repairs cost nearly $3 million, Air Force officials said.
