Globalstar

The Globalstar constellation was a Medium Earth Orbit system for mobile voice and data communications developed and operated by Globalstar Communications Corporation, San Jose, California, USA. Communication satellite built by Alenia Spazio, Space Systems/Loral (Bus) for Globalstar, USA. Launched 1998 - 2007.

AKA: LS 400. Status: Operational 1998. First Launch: 1998-02-14. Last Launch: 2007-10-20. Number: 72 . Gross mass: 222 kg (489 lb).

The 3-axis stabilized 222 kg satellites had a nominal 7 year life, and were placed in eight planes at 1390 km / 52 degrees inclination. The entire initial constellation of 52 satellites was launched in 1998-2007. A replenishment launch of four satellites was made in 2007.

The first launch of the Soyuz- Ikar launch vehicle, selected by Orbcomm after failure of the Zenit launcher. The Ikar upper stage was derived from the Yantar reconnaissance satellite's propulsion module. The Soyuz second stage separated at 8 minutes 48 seconds into flight after placing the Ikar into a 236 km x 884 km x 52.0 deg transfer orbit.
