## Why It Matters
Globalstar M045 is a recorded example of human activity in Earth orbit and is part of the long-running practice of placing artificial satellites into space. Its recorded identifiers (COSPAR ID 1999-019A and SCN 25676) enable unambiguous tracking, cataloging, and reference across international space object databases and scientific resources. The satellite’s launch on 1999-04-15 aboard a Soyuz-U launch vehicle ties it to a widely used family of launchers; that link provides context for studies of launch history, vehicle usage, and mission timelines. Entries like Globalstar M045 contribute to the historical record of space operations, support orbital object catalog maintenance, and allow researchers and operators to reference specific spacecraft consistently in technical, legal, and historical work.
