Launch Update for 9:25 a.m. EDT -- 10/11 service start flatoday.com Wednesday, September 22, 1999 Soyuz rocket to launch four Globalstar satellites today The next four satellites for Globalstar's orbiting constellation are poised for launch today atop a Starsem Soyuz rocket. Liftoff is scheduled for 10:33 a.m. EDT (1433 GMT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakstan. Within nine minutes, the rocket's third stage should inject 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 will be 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. -Justin Ray Soyuz/Globalstar sequence of launch events Summary of the Soyuz launcher About Starsem Baikonur Cosmodrome launch operations These images from the Starsem press kit show overviews of the Soyuz rocket, the satellite dispenser, image of first Soyuz launch for Globalstar, maps of Baikonur launch site and overviews of the spacecraft and Globalstar system.
