Best Contact
Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:  
Last Name: Miller
First Name: Michael
Title: Communications Coordinator
Phone Number: 415 385 3842

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is necessary to transmit with a UHF beacon, and to transmit with two Iridium modems.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Demonstration of the Exo-Brake and demonstrating the viability of the Iridium 9603 communication module. The Technical Education Satellite 3P (TechEdSat-3P) will test and validate two different technologies in Low Earth Orbit (LEO): demonstration of the Exo-Brake and demonstrating the viability of the Iridium 9603 communication module. Transmission will begin 40 minutes after deployment from the ISS. The use of the Exo-Brake will deorbit the satellite in approximately 18 days after deployment from the ISS, thus concluding the mission.
