Globalstar Announces Launch Dates for Second-Generation Constellation Satellites
7:00a ET January 19, 2010 (GlobeNewswire)
Globalstar, Inc. (Nasdaq:GSAT), a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses, governments and consumers, today announced that the first 90-day window to launch six Globalstar second-generation satellites will open on July 5, 2010. Globalstar plans to launch the new satellites during this time. The satellites will be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan using the Soyuz launch vehicle. The human-rated Soyuz is used to ferry astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station and Globalstar has previously used it eight times to successfully launch satellites into orbit.

"Confirmation of this second-generation satellite launch window is another significant milestone for the company as we prepare for our new constellation," said Tony Navarra, President of Global Operations, Globalstar, Inc. "Our validation tests of the satellite subsystems and thermal vacuum tests have been successfully completed and we are on schedule to begin launching our satellites this summer."

In the summer of 2007, Globalstar signed a launch services contract with Arianespace for Globalstar's second-generation constellation. These satellites will be integrated with the Globalstar satellites launched on the Soyuz in 2007. Globalstar's customers will experience improvements in service as the new satellites are progressively brought into commercial service. Once the new constellation is deployed, Globalstar expects its service will return to the industry-leading voice quality and reliability levels that customers received prior to 2007. The new constellation also secures Globalstar's space segment beyond 2025, providing the Company with the ability to deliver both legacy and enhanced next-generation satellite voice and data services for at least the next 15 years.

"Completing construction of the first of our production satellites and scheduling the window for our satellite launch are two key and highly essential operational milestones for Globalstar," said Tony Navarra, President, Global Operations for Globalstar, Inc. "To complete the design and manufacture of a new second-generation satellite network is a time consuming and often painstaking process that has taken nearly four years to deliver. Beginning this summer we expect this process to culminate in the launch of the first of our new satellites. I would like to thank the large and diverse team of engineers and production managers from Thales Alenia Space and Arianespace for helping Globalstar make this possible."

Globalstar Executive Chairman Jay Monroe added, "Our milestone accomplishments are a testament to the collaborative efforts of a large group of world-class technology and financial partners who have come together to build our next-generation network. In addition to our satellite manufacturer and launch provider I would also like to acknowledge the dedication and diligent efforts of those at Coface, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Natixis, Calyon, CIC, Hughes, Ericsson, Brown Brothers Harriman and Lazard who also share our vision of Globalstar's future."

"With the integration of the second-generation constellation now under way, I would like to say that I am especially proud of our long-standing collaboration with Globalstar. Together, we had to meet a number of challenges last year, and that clearly reflects our ability to work together as a team, smoothly and efficiently," said Luigi Pasquali, CEO of Thales Alenia Space Italy.

In the fall of 2006, Globalstar contracted Thales Alenia Space for the design, manufacture and delivery of up to 48 new Globalstar second-generation satellites. Today's investor and media event celebrates the pre-launch assembly, integration and testing (AIT) process of the first nearly completed Globalstar satellites. These AIT steps are integral to the final acceptance of the satellites prior to delivery to the launch site.

In the summer of 2007, Globalstar signed a launch services contract with Arianespace for Globalstar's second-generation constellation. Four launches of six satellites each are to be launched using the Soyuz launch vehicle. These satellites will be integrated with the eight Globalstar satellites launched on the Soyuz in 2007.

Globalstar's customers should expect to experience improvements in service as the new satellites are progressively brought into commercial service. Once the new constellation is fully deployed, Globalstar expects its service will return to the industry-leading voice quality and reliability levels that customers received prior to 2007. The new constellation also secures Globalstar's space segment beyond 2025, providing the Company with the ability to deliver both legacy and enhanced next-generation satellite voice and data services for at least the next 15 years.

New Enhanced SPOT Messenger Summons First Emergency Rescue
8:01a ET March 2, 2010 (GlobeNewswire)
SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA) -- In February, Brent Martin was enjoying an off-road motorcycle trip with a group of riders across a remote desert near Lake Isabella in Southern California. He came upon an injured rider who just crashed her motorcycle. Martin stated that he had only limited cell phone coverage, and was unsuccessful maintaining a mobile phone connection and explaining their location to local 911 dispatchers.

"Being in the middle of nowhere limits your ability to effectively communicate your geographic location, even with cell phones," said Brent Martin, a motorcycle enthusiast and member of a Los Angeles County Search and Rescue team. "Everything looks the same out there and you're miles from any streets signs."

According to Martin, the motorcycle rider was suffering from severe back and rib pain, and her condition was getting worse. After multiple failed attempts with his cell phone, Martin said that he pulled out his hand-held SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM), removed the safety cover and pressed the SOS button.

"This was the first time I had to use the SPOT in an emergency situation, and it worked incredibly. I had purchased my SPOT from REI in case a situation like this happened in a remote area," continued Martin. "SPOT is a must have in my gear bag at all times. It's small, light and easy to use. It's also a great way to keep family and friends reassured that you are safe in the outdoors."

The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM) transmits geolocation messages over a global satellite network from remote locations around the world. SPOT can also transmit an SOS, emergency distress alert in critical, life-threatening situations notifying an emergency response center of one's location and need for immediate help.

The GEOS International Emergency Response Center received the SOS alert from Martin's SPOT device with the latitude and longitude of the motorcycle riders. Coordination with Kern County Sheriff's office had a medical helicopter on the scene within 20 minutes of the first SOS transmission. Martin stated that the first responders quickly stabilized the injured woman, who was air-transported to the nearest hospital for medical treatment.

The new handheld SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM) is the next generation in the SPOT product line following the award-winning SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker(TM). Feature rich enhancements in the new SPOT Messenger offer advanced GPS performance in a smaller, more compact size. Since its inception in November 2007, the SPOT product line has helped initiate more than 550 rescues in 51 countries on land and at sea.
