brian, Update for 5:59 a.m. EDT T+plus 74 minutes. SEPARATION OF LOWER SPACECRAFT. The second pair of Globalstar satellites have been jettisoned from their dispenser mounted atop the Boeing Delta 2 rocket's second stage. Boeing reports today's mission has been "a great success." Globalstar now has 28 spacecraft in space. Over the coming minutes, the satellites will deploy their solar arrays in order to generate power and recharge onboard batteries. After an initial period of activities such acquiring the sun and Earth, the spacecraft will undergo a series of tests and checkouts that will take several days to complete. Controllers will then boost the satellites from the current preliminary orbits to their positions in the Globalstar constellation. Our final update to the journal will come later today once information is released on the health and status of the spacecraft. Update for 5:57 a.m. EDT The spacecraft separation orbit has an apogee of 738.6 nautical miles and perigee of 735.466 nautical miles. The parameters very close to perfect.

The parameters very close to perfect. --------- Update for 5:55 a.m. EDT T+plus 69 minutes, 30 seconds. SEPARATION OF UPPER SPACECRAFT. The two Globalstar satellites mounted on the upper tier of the dispenser have been deployed. The rocket's second stage now will be oriented over the next few moments in preparation for separation of the lower two satellites. Release of those two spacecraft is now four minutes away.
