Ligado Seeking Extra Year of Life for MSAT-2

Ligado wants to extend the license term for MSAT-2 for a year, through Dec. 1. In an FCC International Bureau filing Friday, it said most MSAT-2 customers have been transitioned to its replacement, SkyTerra 1, but some customers still receiving service via MSAT-2 asked that Ligado continue to provide that. The company said at conclusion of the extension there will be enough fuel on MSAT-2 for deorbiting maneuvers.
