Best Contact
Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:  
Last Name: Cahoy
First Name: Kerri
Title: Assoc. Prof
Phone Number: 6508148148

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
A permanent license is not required, as CubeSat expected mission duration is 6 months. Operation will cease when the CubeSat deorbits.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  In collaboration with MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, to operate a 3U CubeSat in Low Earth Orbit. and communicate research data to demonstrate measurement of cloud top temperature, sea surface temperature, and ocean color data using infrared and visible imagers on a CubeSat. Two FLIR BOSON 320, 14mm f/1.0, 16deg HFOV cameras and the mvBlueFOX-IGC200wC camera with a KOWA LM16JC 2/3 16mm F1.4 Manual Iris C-MOUNT lens will be used on the satellite.

Information
Callsign: WR9XCG
Class of Station: FX MO
Nature of Service: Experimental

Requested Period of Operation
Operation Start Date: 12/01/2021
Operation End Date: 06/01/2022

Manufacturer
List below transmitting equipment to be installed (if experimental, so state) if additional rows are required, please submit equipment list as an exhibit:
