Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Experimental first-stage recovery operation, following launch from Cape Canaveral.

This request is limited to the TC uplink, transmitting from an offshore boat/barge and/or onshore station at CCAFS. This includes pre-launch check-out operations at CCAFS as pre-coordinated with the launch Range. Launch vehicle flight communications for this mission are covered by a separate STA. The current launch planning date is NET 10-DEC-2015. The requested expiration date is 6 months following the grant date or upon completion of the experimental recovery operation, whichever occurs first.
