Wired. Globalstar: Russia launched a set of four
Globalstar communications satellites on
Thursday in Kazakhstan, the third such
launch in the company's beleaguered
effort to offer worldwide mobile telephone
service.

Globalstar lost 12 satellites in a single
rocket explosion in September 1998 at
the same launchpad, and the program
had been stymied by snags in a trade
agreement between the United States
and Russia.

The launches are important to Russia's
space operation, too. It earns precious
cash from commercial launches, but the
United States has threatened to curb
expansion of the program if Russia does
not end what Washington says are
exports of nuclear and missile technology
to Iran.
