To all, from BW: BW)(MOTOROLA)(MOT) Motorola Reports IRIDIUM Satellite Anomaly Business Editors CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 18, 1997--Iridium(R) LLC was informed by Motorola (NYSE:MOT) that on Thursday, July 17, 1997, it confirmed through technical analysis a loss of communications with an IRIDIUM satellite. The satellite, one of five launched July 9, 1997, was in a parking orbit awaiting its ascent to final mission orbit. The other 16 satellites orbiting the earth continue to function within normal parameters. Motorola advised Iridium LLC that the anomaly is not expected to impact the scheduled date for commercial service in September 1998. Motorola designed the IRIDIUM system to accommodate such an anomaly. For example, each of the six orbital planes will contain an on-orbit spare satellite. -0- NOTE TO EDITORS: IRIDIUM is a registered trademark and service mark of Iridium LLC. --30--jbm/ix* kjs/ix CONTACT: Motorola Space and Systems Technology Group Chad Madden, 602/732-4018
