Sunday, March 14, 1999 Soyuz rocket launches with four Globalstar satellites Update for 10:15 p.m. EST Four Globalstar satellites are bound for space today aboard a Starsem Soyuz rocket. The booster lifted off as scheduled at 10:06 p.m. EST (0306 GMT Monday) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakstan. Officials report the Ikar upper stage with the satellites attached separated from the third stage about nine minutes after launch. The flight is the second in Globalstar's deployment campaign using a Soyuz/Ikar booster. Spacecraft deployment is expected about 3 1/2 hours into flight. The satellites will join 12 others already in space that will ultimately form Globalstar's constellation of 48 low-Earth orbiting spacecraft. The network will provide global telephone and paging services beginning this September. A live feed of the launch has been found on Telstar 5, Ku-band with a downlink frequency of 12.015 GHz.
