Wednesday, September 22, 1999 Soyuz rocket launches with four Globalstar satellites Update for 10:43 a.m. EDT The next four satellites for Globalstar's orbiting constellation are taking their journey into space today atop a Starsem Soyuz rocket. Liftoff has occurred on time at 10:33 a.m. EDT (1433 GMT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakstan. Within nine minutes, the rocket's third stage injected the Ikar upper stage and attached satellites into a parking orbit. Deployment of the spacecraft will occur just over 3 1/2 hours after launch. The flight is the fourth in Globalstar's deployment campaign using a Soyuz/Ikar booster. The satellites will join 36 others already in space that will ultimately form Globalstar's network of 48 low-Earth orbiting spacecraft. The system will provide global telephone and paging services beginning on Oct. 11. Two further Soyuz launches will place the remaining eight primary Globalstar satellites into space in October and November.
