Scientific paper

Motorola's Iridium satellite system is the largest and most ambitious of a set of competing satellite-based mobile phone systems. Motorola's objective is to allow handheld mobiles to be used from anywhere on the planet, with the call being routed directly from handset to handset via one or several of the satellites. After a bad start when the first Delta launch failed, Iridium spacecraft have been launched up to five at a time and the system is due to go operational late this year.
