The US Air Force and Boeing have joined forces to build a new GPS satellite in orbit.

The eight global positioning system (GPS) IIF satellite has finally joined the other 30 satellites that currently make up a GPS constellation in orbit. The GPS satellite device was built by Boeing and is owned and monitored by the US Air Force (USAF).

The satellite, called the GPS IIF-8 satellite, is now finally active. In October, it was launched on the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas 5 rocket, coming from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

This marks the fourth GPS-IIF satellite to become active and be put into service by Boeing and the USAF just in 2014 alone.
