EXHIBIT This request for an Experimental License is related to the experimental license Request FCC File No. 0301-EX-PL-2015, filed by Pumpkin, Inc. (Pumpkin) In the above-mentioned request, Pumpkin sought authority to operate Globalstar simplex transmitter module that will be included in the 6u CubeSat called SUPERNOVA-BETA, which will be launched into low-earth orbit and is manifested on the ORS-4 mission. The module will transmit data collected by sensors on board the CubeSat to the companies' respective operations centers by means of the Globalstar system constellation and the associated ground infrastructure. In this request, Globalstar seeks authority, in connection with this experiment, to receive transmissions from licensed Globalstar simplex module and relay the data to the terrestrial CubeSat operations centers. For this request, the only change from Globalstar’s licensed operations is that the Globalstar constellation will be receiving transmissions from a space station rather than the usual earth terminal. Globalstar’s License does not cover space-to-space operation. The FCC filing by Pumpkin indicates that the expected orbital lifetime of the SuperNova-Beta CubeSat is 1-2 years. Globalstar has been advised that Pumpkin will notify the FCC of the dates of actual operation, once those have been established
