Flightmed Digest, Vol 67, Issue 4

[Kerry Lynn Dudley]

I had herd that Iridium had a back up satellite already in orbit they just 
moved it into position. I thought flight aware posted that information on 
the daily email  mailing. I could be wrong, but I am 95% sure this happened. 
Call Iridium they will know for sure.
