Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The sole purpose of this STA application is to allow Globalstar to receive signals from the REDEYE Cubesat spacecraft and relay the signals to Globalstars already-approved ground station network using already-approved communications (HIBLEO-4). Globalstar is already licensed for use of the communication frequencies. The only change from Globalstars currently licensed operations is that the Globalstar constellation will be receiving transmissions from the FCC-approved modules on a space station rather than receiving transmissions from earth-based terminals. Globalstars FCC License does not cover space-to-space operation, thus requiring this Experimental License request. <> that although this application mentions S-band transmissions, this entry was included simply so thst the application could be completed. THERE WILL BE NO transmissions whatsoever from Globalstar to the REDEYE Cubesat spacecraft.
