Globalstar's history has been marked by one daunting challenge after another, including an early launch failure, bankruptcy, the performance degradation of its initial satellite constellation, disputes with its satellite and launch contractors, and cash-flow difficulties.

This, coupled with a restructuring of its debt, has positioned the company to focus building up the business.
