Thales Alenia Space has secured a contract from Globalstar to develop software to enhance operations of Globalstar second-generation satellite.

Under the agreement, Thales Alenia Space will develop and provide the software necessary to adapt the satellite’s in-flight configuration.

The solution will allow the satellite to return to service and sustain operations, meeting its objective during a 15-year mission.

The solution is expected to be implemented in stages over the coming months and is intended to be available for other satellites if they experience similar issues in the future.

Globalstar is planning to launch its third satellite, which is in the final decision-making period, in December 2011.
