I’m not sure gps would even work up there. GPS satellites are obviously a lot further out than LEO and suborbital missiles, so there should be a signal, but it’s probably designed to work best at surface level.

IIRC they're more worried about other systems being jammed. Kinda hard to jam the stars.
