EXHIBIT #1:

Blue Origin Texas, LLC
Application for FCC Special Temporary Authority, file # 0860-EX-ST-2018
Dated 9 May 2018

This license request is a for modification of the STA file # 0257-EX-ST-2018, call sign WM9XJC. The first
modification is to increase the maximum altitude from 350,000 ft MSL to 425,000 ft MSL. Although the
nominal target altitude for New Shepard flights is 350,000 ft, certain off nominal flights could achieve a
higher altitude. This change harmonizes the FCC license request with the separate FAA licensing.

The second modification is to add wider emissions to 2250 MHz and 2211 MHz. Blue Origin is cognizant
that licenses in this band are normally up to 5 MHz wide, and is requesting the 6, 8, and 12 MHz
emissions as an experiment for this one flight of New Shepard only.

Assuming that 0860-EX-ST-2018 is granted, the new license can void the already-granted license
WM9XJC.
