Globalstar 2-R Mission 1 (x 9)
SpaceX's Falcon 9 Block 5 is set to launch Globalstar 2-R Mission 1 (x 9) no earlier than July 2026 from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA. The countdown above is shown in your local timezone; the status updates live as the flight moves from To Be Confirmed to Go, and if it slips or scrubs. The Globalstar global mobile communications network offers global, digital real time voice, data and fax services via its Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation. The constellation operates in a 1410 km orbit inclined at 52 degrees. In early 2022, Globalstar contracted with MDA for the construction of 17 new 2nd generation refresh satellites to replenish the existing constellation. Rocket Lab is sub-contracted to build the satellites' buses and the launch dispensers.
