Message:

On September 20, 2018, you asked that we address two questions regarding our pending experimental
application.

1. Your narrative indicates 3 ground stations will be operated by partners. Are the ground stations listed in
the application operated by Pointview or the partners? Have Atlas or Athena filed for experimental ground
stations or do they have existing Part 25 licenses?

The three ground stations to be used for Telemetry, Tracking, and Control (“TT&C”)
will be operated by PointView’s partners. PointView understands that its partner, Atlas Space
Operations (“Atlas”), has arranged to use an earth station in Albuquerque, NM, that is
already licensed under a Department of Defense authorization, and that Atlas is duly authorized to use it.
See Naval Postgraduate School Application for Equipment Frequency Allocation, DD Form 1494 (July 7,
2015). On October 3, 2018, Atlas received an experimental license for the earth station in Mojave, CA
(File No. 0461-EX-CN-2018, Call Sign WJ2XSH). The TT&C earth station in Brewster, WA, is the
subject of a pending modification application filed by Atlas’s partner, Denali 20020, LLC
(SES-MOD-20180619-01710, Call Sign E990066). That application was accepted for filing on October
10, 2018 and is on public notice. Finally, with respect to the remaining three earth stations listed on Form
442 and intended to operate in the E-band, PointView has concluded it will only need two – the
stations proposed for Los Angeles (Mt. Wilson) and Northridge, both in California. PointView is updating
the Form 442 to reflect the omission of one station (Santa Paula, CA). The remaining two E-band
stations are part of the Athena application and will be operated by PointView.

2. Your ODAR indicates that there will be surviving items. Please discuss if you have obtained any
insurance to cover the risks of the surviving objects.

PointView is actively exploring third party liability coverage options and alternatively the option of
self-insuring. PointView will keep the Commission apprised of its decision in this respect.
