LightSquared Aims To Keep MSAT-2 in Operation Through 2016

January 5, 2016 |Satellite

LightSquared is seeking another extension of the life of its MSAT-2 space station. In an FCC International Bureau filing Thursday, the satellite company said it wanted extension of the license term of MSAT-2 through Dec. 31, 2016. It received a similar one-year extension in 2015, saying then that it wanted to keep MSAT-2 in operation as backup for its SkyTerra-1 satellite and to continue to provide service to customers who hadn't been transitioned to SkyTerra-1.
