One of Globalstar's second-generation satellites, launched in the early 2010s and now approaching the end of its originally planned 15-year design life. Its successor satellites, funded partly by Apple and now planned under Amazon's ownership, will maintain the Emergency SOS service that has become Globalstar's primary reason for existing.
