Don't know what the catalyst or events were,and hopefully still are ,but just delayed.
It seemed to me as though, most of the info back then centered on GTC rather than the Argus. The newsletter,especially the first one, barely mentioned Argus,plus they started the new website for GTC.Also from the wording in the purchase agreement and the Agreement BB found, Afghanistan seemed to be in the bag.
Even with this, the numbers wouldn't add up to break even with the current burn rate.With 9000 or 10000 free ecns per ground station should equal $1M to $1.1M per year at the lowest Globalstar simplex plan $110.They would need quite a few of these,even including the money they'd receive from the installation.
So that should lead to the Argus like you're saying. I would include the Gsat possibilities,but i doubt these guys MC/GE would start all this up based on something they couldn't control.
Hopefully,whatever it was, will come thru quickly.
All imo
