Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is required for University Cubesat Mission: OpenOrbiter1 Data will be sent using the LinkStar-STX3 simplex radio and the LinkStar duplex radio system. These units are based on the Globalstar STX3 simplex radio and Globalstar GSP-1720 respectively. Data will be transmitted from the STX3 and GSP-1720 to the Globalstar satellite network. Commands to control the radio and satellite will be transmitted from the ground through the Globalstar satellite network through the GSP-1720. The LinkStar-STX3 can be turned off from the ground via the GSP-1720. The GSP-1720 can only be turned off once the LinkStar-STX3 is turned off; the GSP-1720 cannot be turned off from the ground as long as the LinkStar-STX3 is active. The mission duration is 3-6 months.
