Globalstar Constellation Replenishment Supports Direct-To-Device Communications
Rocket Lab has successfully launched the first eight satellite platforms for Globalstar’s constellation replenishment. The satellites, launched on August 15 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, will support direct-to-device communications and IoT services. Rocket Lab confirmed that all eight spacecraft are generating power and operating nominally. The launch is part of a larger effort to replenish Globalstar’s existing satellite constellation, as reported by Telecompaper.
