FCC form 442, Question 7, Experimentation Description

Ref. file # 0254-EX-PL-2006

Orbital Sciences Corporation is under various contracts to design, build, test, deliver
and launch launch vehicles with resident GPS receivers. Orbital is required to verify
nominal operation of these GPS receivers, which are a part of a vehicle resident GPS
system, by conducting the appropriate tests in the Chandler, AZ facility. Because of the
nature of these tests, they must be conducted inside the building, where attenuation
from the building decreases the GPS satellite signal level below the receiver threshold
level. Thus a GPS booster station is required to increase the signal level enough so
that the GPS receivers can acquire the GPS satellite signal.
