Greetings,
this is the website from which details should be coming from:
Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://cgls.uscg.mil/mailman/listinfo/nanu
If you subscribe you will recieve all sorts of notifications, including sat launches....
It is true that in space they dont last long, however, so far 32 are orbiting, and we are using 24 (excluding GLONASS).
Having said that, 5 satellites (with baro aiding) in view and a good geometry is what is needed to to shoot an RNP, NPA, RNP RNAV approach, with GPS as the primary sensor.
