In November of 2006, Globalstar contracted Thales Alenia Space for the design, manufacture and delivery of up to 48 new Globalstar second-generation satellites.  The upcoming investor and media event celebrates the pre-launch assembly, integration and testing (AIT) process of the first nearly completed satellites. These AIT steps are integral to the final acceptance of the satellites prior to delivery to the launch site. 

Once the new constellation is deployed, Globalstar expects its service will return to the industry-leading voice quality and reliability levels that customers received prior to 2007.  The new constellation also secures Globalstar's space segment beyond 2025, providing the Company with the ability to deliver both legacy and enhanced next-generation satellite voice and data services for at least the next 15 years.
