The information provided below is submitted in response to the July 16, 2015 correspondence (Ref. No.
28758) concerning Bigelow Aerospace, LLC’s pending experimental license renewal application.

Transmitter and Receiver Information:
A- Location:
a) Earth station: provide lat/long, city/state
(1) North Las Vegas (CLARK), NV-NL 36-12-45; WL 115-10-04
Altitude: 646.0m (MSL)
(2) Naalehu (HAWAII), HI, NL 19-00-49; WL 155-39-48
Altitude: 379.7m (MSL)
(3) North Pole (FAIRBANKS), AK - NL 64-48-15; WL 147-30-01
Altitude: 161.0m (MSL)
(4) Loring AFB (AROOSTOOK), ME - NL 46-57-18; WL 67-54-18
Altitude: 222.5m (MSL)

b) Space station: provide orbital information including
- Inclination angle: +28 deg inclination
- Apogee (km): 400 km altitude (circular orbit)
- Perigee (km): 400 km altitude (circular orbit)
- orbit period (hours): 1 hour
- Fractions of hours in decimal: .544 fraction of hour
- Number of satellites including name: 2 satellites planned. B330_1 and B330_2

The original satellites operated by Bigelow Aerospace are no longer transmitting. The information
provided above applies to its planned follow-on spacecraft in the B330 series. The ground stations will
continue to be used for proof of concept and planning for the B330 spacecraft and for future on-orbit
programs. Bigelow Aerospace will seek modification of its authorization in the event that the parameters
for the B330 program deviate from the information provided above.
