Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Globalstar is already licensed for use of the communication frequencies. The only change from the currently licensed Globalstar operations is that the Globalstar constellation will be sending/receiving transmissions to/from the FCC-approved terminals on a space station rather than communicating with these terminals from an Earth-based location. The Globalstar FCC License does not cover space-to-space operation, thus requiring this request for Special Temporary Authority.
