Update for 10:08 p.m. EST

A cluster of four Globalstar satellites is 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 first stage and payload fairing have been jettisoned. The
launch 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.
