Mission details:

• Four first-generation Globlalstar satellites were placed in orbit on May 29 to supplement the aging constellation of low orbit comm satellites.
  The Soyuz-FG rocket entered a 195 x 233 km x 51.9 deg parking orbit; the Fregat stage then made two burns for deployment of the four payloads in a 914 x 931 km x 52.0 deg orbit. The Fregat stage made a depletion burn that was intended to remove it from orbit entirely
