                                 (Call Sign WA2XHE; File No. 5582—EX—PL—97)

       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 this request for special
       temporary authority to operate on the above—referenced frequency on a limited, emergency
       basis. Final Analysis requests an emergency STA to conduct telemetry, tracking and control
       ("TT&C") communications with its experimental Little LEO satellite, FAISAT—2v, from its
       main ground station in Lanham, Maryland, on frequency 148.7 MHz for a three—month
       period from the date of grant of the STA and on a limited basis. TT&C communications
       will be 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 .‘


             1            The application information required for requests for special temporary
                          authority under Section 5.56 of the Rules is attached hereto in Attachment A.
                          The signature and certification of an officer of Final Analysis as required by
                          Section 5.54 of the Rules is attached hereto in Attachment B.

               Since FAISAT—2v was launched from Plesetsk, Russia on September 23, 1997,
Final Analysis‘s technical staff at Lanham has been actively engaged in monitoring and
TT&C of the satellite to ensure that it enters into proper operational condition. TT&C
communications with FAISAT—2v must be performed on the 148.7 MHz frequency.
However, due to congestion in the 148.7 MHz frequency in the Washington, D.C. area,
Final Analysis has not been able to obtain permanent experimental authority to conduct
communications on that frequency from Lanham. Thus, Final Analysis‘s technical staff in
Lanham is currently conducting TT&C with FAISAT—2v remotely through telephone modem
uplinks to its two other ground stations in Logan, Utah and Andoya, Norway, where it is
authorized to use the 148.7 MHz frequency. These modem uplinks have been subject to
potential and unforeseeable interruptions. In light of this, the FCC granted Final Analysis an
emergency STA on September 25, 1997, to use the 148.7 MHz frequency from Lanham to
conduct TT&C communications with FAISAT—2v on a limited, emergency basis. That STA
expired on October 25, 1997. See Experimental Call Sign WA2XHE (File No. $—3064—EX—
97).                                                                                 v

                         Final Analysis has encountered early orbit operational difficulties due to the
limited command capabilities from the telephone modem uplinks to Logan and Andoya which
are not yet at 100 percent reliability. Special temporary authority on an emergency basis is
necessary to allow Final Analysis to conduct TT&C communications on the 148.7 MHz
frequency between its main Lanham ground station and FAISAT—2v to ensure that the
satellite enters into its proper orbital operation. Accordingly, 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 three—month period under the limited terms described above for
TT&C between its Lanham ground station and the FAISAT—2v Little LEO satellite.

                                                                ctfully submitted,

                                                          Counsel to Final Analysis Inc.
