Update for 10:15 p.m. EST

Four Globalstar satellites are 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 Ikar upper stage with the satellites attached separated from the
third stage about nine minutes after launch. The flight 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.
