Globsat

---

Status: Study 1993. Gross mass: 150 kg (330 lb).

Its Globsat constellation would have consisted of only 3-6 spacecraft at an altitude of 1,000 km and an inclination of 65 degrees.

These 150-kg spacecraft would be launched in groups of three by Salyut's Rokot booster. Unlike other systems, Globsat was designed for real-time communications during limited contact periods, e.g., 10 minutes for users within a 300 km region. Links would be via the 300-400 MHz band. System deployment, which could be accomplished with only one or two launches, was not scheduled until 1995 or later. No investors came forward to support the project.
