When will we get a full honest accounting? Bernie has stated on numerous occasions that the sats are working perfectly, better than plan and so on. Okay so give him some weasel room, 'the plan' can and does include everything and changes day to day. That still does not excuse the fact that everything is not perfect and he has failed to mention it. Things may be nominal (within acceptable bounds) but they are not perfect.

from spaceflightnow.com

Plans call for one of the four satellites to be boosted out of its current parking orbit and into the operational Globalstar constellation in 11 to 12 days. The satellite will become the 48th and final primary satellite in Globalstar's fleet circling 879 miles above Earth.

The other satellites, plus one from a previous launch, will act as on-orbit spares. They will be pressed into service when a primary satellite should fail.


A printed Fla Today article yesterday had different wording and caught my eye, so I went looking for a web version. The Fla Today article stated that one of the sats had drifted out of its orbit. Not that I care that one sat is difficult to control and will be swapped for another, it is just another example of Bernie not giving the whole story. The illusion of deceit must be forcefully countered at every opportunity!

Bernie I am very disappointed - again. I wonder how big of a raise he is going to give himself this year?
