Amazon is in the process of buying Globalstar in a deal valued at some $11.6 billion (\u20ac10bn), announced in April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The Falcon 9 rocket took off at 9:12 p.m. Florida time on August 15th from Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The rocket\u2019s booster saw a successful return to Landing Zone 40,<\/p>\n<p>The rocket placed eight Globalstar satellites into their transfer orbit. The mission was the first of two batches, totalling 17 satellites, to be launched on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese satellites are being built to replace aging assets in Globalstar\u2019s current constellation and are intended to support continued service in combination with the company\u2019s existing second-generation satellites,\u201d says the company.<\/p>\n<p>HIBLEO-4 will continue to support SPOT service for rescuers and direct-to-handset emergency SOS service for smartphones. Both of these allow for emergency communication outside the reach of traditional cellular service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis launch marks the culmination of years of focused work across our company to ensure the long-term continuity and strength of Globalstar\u2019s satellite network,\u201d commented Globalstar\u2019s CEO Paul E. Jacobs. \u201cReplenishing our HIBLEO-4 constellation is a proud moment for the entire team and an important step in advancing the reliable, resilient mobile satellite services our customers depend on every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Globalstar satellites, radio frequency spectrum, and operational expertise will enable Amazon Leo to add Direct-to-Device (D2D) services to future generations of its low Earth orbit satellite network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-0\">Copyright \u00a9 2001-2026.
