Business Wire
Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT), a leading provider of
satellite-powered innovation, today announced the successful launch
of the FM-15 spare satellite from Cape Canaveral’s Kennedy Space
Center. FM-15 is the 25th and final satellite of Globalstar’s
second-generation constellation, which was manufactured and stored
by Thales Alenia Space. The satellite is expected to remain as an
in-orbit spare and will only be raised to its operational orbit at
a future date, if needed.
Launch services provider SpaceX confirmed that the upper stage
of the Falcon 9 rocket accurately injected the satellite into its
targeted low earth orbit. Globalstar has begun initial in-orbit
testing and the satellite is operating nominally at this time.
“We are pleased to achieve launch success together with SpaceX
and would like to extend a profound thank you to the team at Thales
Alenia Space for successfully manufacturing, storing and then
readying the satellite for launch,” said David Kagan, CEO. “This
latest satellite, which will serve as an in-orbit spare, plays a
crucial role in our continued growth plans prior to the launch of
additional satellites procured from MDA and Rocket Lab which are
expected to launch in 2025.”
The satellite addition is designed to further support
Globalstar’s data products and services including its legacy
Duplex, SPOT retail consumer and Commercial IoT. The launch further
solidifies Globalstar’s commitment to deliver uninterrupted
connectivity to users worldwide.
