Globalstar Confirms Successful Launch of All 8 HIBLEO-4 Replacement Satellites

Globalstar has successfully launched and deployed eight replacement satellites to expand its low Earth orbit constellation. The company is currently conducting system testing and calibration to integrate them into its network.
Why it matters
Satellite constellation expansion is critical for improving global telecommunications infrastructure and network resiliency.
Globalstar, a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, announced the successful launch and deployment of its latest satellites, marking another significant milestone in the continued expansion of the Company's low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.
Following a successful launch, all satellites were successfully dispensed from the launch vehicle and have reached their intended orbital planes. Globalstar's Satellite Operations Command Center team has established communications with each satellite, and all are currently under the Company's command and control. Initial health assessments indicate the satellites are performing as expected, and engineers are actively monitoring their status as they progress through early orbit operations.
The newly launched satellites will undergo a series of commissioning activities, including comprehensive system testing and calibration, before being integrated into Globalstar's operational constellation. These activities are designed to verify satellite performance and ensure they meet the Company's rigorous operational standards prior to entering commercial service.
