FCC Form 442 THEA Satellite File #: 0176-EX-CN-2018

FOR REFERENCE ONLY

As required by the Commission, the following technical parameters are provided
for THEA satellite communications using S-Band Earth stations located outside the
United States, its territories and possessions. The S-Band receive/transmit Earth
Station, operated and licensed by the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC), is located in
Esrange, Sweden. This information is also included in the NTIA Space Record data form
submitted separately which gives the full picture of both ends of the transmit receive
link.
