Two of the Six Satellites From the Second Launch Now
   Operational With Four to be Placed in Service Shortly - Third

COVINGTON, La., Oct. 4, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globalstar, Inc.
(Nasdaq:GSAT), a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data
services to businesses, government and consumers, today announced that
the second of six satellites launched in July is now operational and
processing mobile satellite voice and data call traffic to customers in
North America and around the world. The deployment of these six
satellites from the second launch is on schedule. The first satellite
from the July launch was placed into service in August and the four
remaining satellites are expected to become operational over the next
few months.

The new second-generation satellites are designed to support
Globalstar's current lineup of voice, Duplex and Simplex data products
and services including the Company's SPOT retail consumer products. As
each new Globalstar satellite becomes operational, service availability
and reliability improvements will benefit those customers who use the
Company's voice and Duplex data services. With each subsequent launch,
these customers can expect a progressive return to high quality
coverage and call completion reliability.

Globalstar is currently deploying its second-generation satellite
constellation and launch services provider Arianespace has been
contracted to conduct launches of six satellites each. The first two
launches were successfully conducted in October of 2010 and July of
2011. Globalstar is currently planning to launch six additional
satellites in December.
