This is one of the six fresh spacecrafts for Globalstar's mobile communications satellite fleet deployed by a Russian Soyuz rocket, propping up the company's degraded two-way voice service for more than 400,000 subscribers around the world. The successful launch continued Globalstar's campaign to replace aging satellites launched more than a decade ago. The satellite, weighing 1,543 pounds (700 kg) at launch, will enter Globalstar's constellation circling a few hundred miles above Earth. Thales Alenia Space assembled the satellites in Rome and built their communications equipment in Toulouse, France. U.S.-based Globalstar Inc. provides mobile satellite telephone and data transmission services to customers in more than 120 countries.
