Globalstar will use 48 satellites to create a world-wide mobile communications system. As a large, long-term commercial system Globalstar provides an opportunity to explore innovative solutions for highly efficient satellite command and control. Design and operational concepts being developed are unencumbered by existing physical and organizational infrastructures. This paper discusses the Globalstar system and challenges and presents early engineering concepts, system design decisions, and operations concepts which address the combined needs and concerns of satellite, ground system, and operational teams.
