COVINGTON, La. - Globalstar Inc. (GSAT), a provider of satellite-powered innovation with HQ in Covington, La., announced a successful launch June 19 of its 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. The satellite is expected to remain as an in-orbit spare and only used to its operational orbit at a future date, if needed. SpaceX confirmed that the upper stage of its Falcon 9 rocket injected the satellite into its targeted low-earth orbit. Globalstar has begun initial in-orbit testing and the satellite is operating nominally. The added satellite is designed to support Globalstar’s data products and services including its legacy Duplex, SPOT retail consumer and Commercial IoT. The launch enhances Globalstar’s commitment to deliver uninterrupted connectivity to users worldwide.
