Young Office of Engineering and Technology Experimental Licensing Branch Federal Communications Commission 2000 M Street, Suite 230 Stop Code 1300 — C1 Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Final Analysis Inc. —— Request for Emergency Special Temporary Operating Authority on Frequency 148.7 MHz from Experimental Satellite Ground Station in Lanham, MD (Call Sign WA2ZXHE; File No. 5582—EX—PL—97) —— EXPEDITED ACTION REQUESTED Dear Mr. Young: Pursuant to Section 309(f) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 309(f), and Section 5.56 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 5.56, Final Analysis Inc. ("Final Analysis"), by its attorneys, hereby submits its emergency request for special temporary operating authority to use the 148.7 MHz frequency, on the emergency basis as defined herein for a limited four—week period from the date of grant of the STA, for telemetry, tracking & control ("TT&C") operations between its above—referenced ground station and its experimental Little LEO satellite FAISAT—2v. For the reasons discussed below and in light of the emergency nature of this STA request, expedited grant of this request is in the public interest, convenience and necessity.‘ 1 Due to the emergency nature of this STA request, this advance copy of the STA request is being filed directly with the Office of Engineering and Technology for expedited action. The original STA request will subsequently be filed with the appropriate fee and transmittal forms through the FCC‘s Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh.

Mr. Douglas A. Young September 24, 1997 Page 2 & AN EMERGENCY STA TO OPERATE ON FREQUENCY 148.7 MHz FOR NO MORE THAN A TOTAL OF THREE MINUTES PER DAY FOR THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS IS NECESSARY TO ALLOW FINAL ANALYSIS TO CONDUCT MONITORING AND TT&C OF FAISAT—2v‘s ORBITAL OPERATION FROM ITS LANHAM CONTROL CENTER On September 23, 1997 at approximately 8:45 p.m. Moscow time (12:45 p.m. Washington, D.C. time), FAISAT—2v was launched as a secondary payload aboard a Cosmos rocket from the Cosmodrome in Plesetsk, Russia. Final Analysis‘s technical staff at its Lanham headquarters and main ground station are now actively engaged in monitoring and TT&C of the satellite to ensure that it enters into proper operational condition. TT&C communications with the satellite must be performed on the 148.7 MHz frequency. Final Analysis‘s technical staff in Lanham is currently conducting TT&C with FAISAT—2v remotely through telephone modem uplinks to its two other experimental ground stations in Logan, Utah and Andoya, Norway, where it is authorized to use the 148.7 MHz frequency." Nevertheless, to the extent that these remote telephone modem links are inherently subject to potential and unforeseeable interruptions, special temporary authority is necessary to use the 148.7 MHz frequency for a TT&C communication link to FAISAT—2v on a limited, emergency basis from the Lanham headquarters. Availability of the 148.7 MHz frequency for TT&C at the Lanham ground station on an emergency STA basis is especially critical during this early phase of the FAISAT—2v mission in order to ensure that the satellite enters into its proper orbit. Accordingly, Final Analysis requests an emergency STA to conduct communications with FAISAT—2v from its Lanham ground station on frequency 148.7 MHz for a four—week period from the date of grant of the STA and limited to a portion (5%) of each of four (4) 15 minute passes each day when FAISAT 2v is in view of the Lanham ground station not to exceed a total of 3 minutes each day. II. SPECIFIC INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SECTION 5.56 OF THE RULES 1) Name and Address: Final Analysis Inc., 9701—E Philadelphia Way, Lanham, MD, 20706. 2 Due to congestion in the 148.7 MHz frequency in the Washington, D.C. area, however, Final Analysis has been unable previously to obtain experimental authority to conduct communications on that frequency from its Lanham ground station. ## DCOuBATAP/S0182.41

Mr. Douglas A. Young September 24, 1997 Page 3 2) Need for Special Action: To conduct TT&C from Lanham ground station and headquarters on frequency 148.7 MHz to monitor FAISAT 2—v satellite‘s orbital pattern during initial four—week phase of mission. 3) Type of Operation to be Conducted: Telemetry, tracking and control of experimental Little LEO satellite from Lanham ground station. 4) Purpose of Operation: Same as above 5) Time and Date of Proposed Operation: For a four—week period from date of grant of STA. Operations on 148.7 MHz will be limited to 5 percent of each of four (4) 15 minute passes per day when FAISAT—2v is in view of the Lanham ground station not to exceed a total of three minutes per day. 6) Class of Station, Call Sign, Nature of Service: Experimental Ground Station for Experimental Little LEO satellite program; Call Sign WA2XHE,; Experimental Satellite Service. 7) Location of Proposed Operation: Final Analysis Inc., 9701—E Philadelphia Court, Lanham, MD (north latitude 38—57—39; west longitude 76— 50—19) 8) Equipment: Experimental Ground Station Transmitter (1 unit). 9) Frequencies: 148.7 MHz 10) Effective Radiated Power: 20w maximum RF output power at transmitter terminal; 200W maximum effective radiated power from the antenna. 11) Type of Emission: 100KFID 12) Overall Height Above Ground of Antenna Structure: The antenna is mounted on an existing building and will not extend more than 6 meters above the building. See Final Analysis Inc., Initial Application for Lanham Experimental Ground Station on FCC Form 442, dated November 13, 1996 at Item 15. As required by Section 5.54 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 5.54, the signature and certification of an officer of Final Analysis is attached hereto. ## 0Co1/BATAPISC182.41

Mr. Douglas A. Young September 24, 1997 Page 4 II. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Final Analysis urges the Commission to expeditiously grant this emergency STA request to allow it to operate on the 148.7 MHz frequency for a four—week period under the limited terms described above for TT&C between its Lanham ground station and the FAISAT—2v Little LEO satellite.
