Satellite Telephone Service Recovery Nearly Complete Even as
      Company Prepares Final Launch of Its New Constellation

COVINGTON, La., July 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globalstar, Inc.
today announced that its satellite operations control center has
initiated the steps needed to place four previously launched satellites
into service by the middle of next month. With these satellites
becoming operational, the Company expects to once again begin providing
quality affordable mobile satellite voice and data services to
customers around the globe later this summer.

"It has been a long road to recovery but these four satellites becoming
operational is expected to pave the way for us to begin offering
quality mobile satellite voice and data services in August," said Tony
Navarra, President of Global Operations for Globalstar, Inc. "Over the
past 20 months we have completed the launch of 18 of our 24 new
satellites. Today we can already offer customers the clearest satellite
voice calls and the fastest handset data speeds in the industry and our
dealers have started to report strong increases in interest in our
duplex services thanks to the improved performance. Placing these
satellites into service is anticipated to further improve the call
connection rate in our major markets to a level of performance many of
our voice and duplex data customers demand."

"We also expect to add additional satellites into service in the fall
to further increase the performance of our network. Once we complete
our fourth satellite launch and then introduce our next generation
ground segment upgrades, we look forward to providing even better
performance and improved future benefits to our customers. On behalf of
Globalstar I would like to thank all of our employees worldwide for
their continued hard work and dedication as well as our global dealers
and customers for their lengthy perseverance as we continue our return
to service."

Globalstar is currently working with satellite manufacture Thales
Alenia Space and launch services provider Arianespace in order to
conduct its fourth and final launch of six new second-generation
satellites prior to the end of the year.
