| Carl Huie — Experimental Frequency Application s i S Page 1| From: "Dino Lorenzini" <dino@spacequest.com> To: "Shahnaz Ghavami" <sghavami@fcc.gov> Date: 8/24/01 3:49PM Subject: Experimental Frequency Application BlankAugust 24, 2001 Dear Ms. Ghavami, It has been almost four months now since SpaceQuest submitted its application to the FCC to operate experimental payloads on board two Saudi amateur radio satellites. | do appreciate your assistance in this matter; however, we are losing valuable time and a unique opportunity to validate the technical! aspects of our future commercial satellite data relay system. Without approval of our request for an experimental license, we may never know if this technology is suitable for operation with the inexpensive earth terminals we have developed. There is no way of knowing how long the Saudi amateur sateilites will continue to operate for us to collect meaningful data. SpaceQuest has been developing its low earth orbit satellite technology for the last six years. It has complied to the best of its ability with all of the FCC rules and regulations with regard to experimental licensing and the operation of its experimental transmitters. Because our situation may be somewhat unusual, I would like to request an opportunity to meet with you and others involved in this decision, so we can make everyone aware of the facts, and answer any questions they may have. A face—to—face meeting with all the principals may clear up any outstanding issues or concerns, and identify an acceptable way for us to proceed with our space research program. Authorization to operate these experimental payloads is extremely important to our progress, so we need to have a decision. I am looking forward to meeting you and your colleagues at the earliest possible time. Sincerely yours, Dino Lorenzini President and CEO SpaceQuest, Ltd. 3554 Chain Bridge Road Suite 103 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 Tel: (703) 273—7010 Fax: (703) 273—7011 dino@spacequest.com
