Sid: I believe that the average failure in the space industry is about
10%. Iridium is now running at 7%, how is this cause for concern about the reliability of the system. To date hundreds of tests have been performed over the satellites in space and the success of these tests have exceeded everyone's expectations. Personally, i am more concerned about the reliability of a system that only has postponements to show for its launches.

Does anyone know the capacity of I* and G* for 1st and 2nd generations.
