GPS III - 04 Sacagawea

Success

Named after the Shoshone woman Sacagawea, who helped guide the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

A launch attempt on 3 October 2020 was aborted two seconds before liftoff after sensors detected an early ignition in two first-stage engines. The engines were removed for further testing, and the resulting data review also delayed the nearby Crew-1 crewed launch.
