Description of GLOBALSTAR M033 Satellite:

Globalstars M033, M050, M055, and M058 were the latest to join the American fleet of low orbit satellites that enable links between fixed or mobile phones located far away from cellular networks. With these four, the operational fleet has now 40 satellites. They were launched by a Soyuz-U booster from Baikonur at 14:33 UT.
