Summary
Globalstar 29,34,39,61 launched on a Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) Soyuz-U-PVB from 1/5, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on November 22, 1999. It was Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS)'s 94th launch, 10th this year and humanity's 4,355th orbital launch attempt. It was the 53rd Soyuz-U-PVB flight and the 9th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Globalstar M039, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 906 × 948 km orbit inclined 52.0°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, 4 of them payloads.

About this launch
The Globalstar global mobile communications network offers global, digital real time voice, data and fax via a constellation of 48 minisatellites. The constellation operates in a 1410 km orbit inclined at 52 degrees, and will also have 8 spares. The satellites were built by Space Systems Loral and Alenia Aerospazio in Rome, Italy.
