Last Name: Lorenzini
First Name: Dino A.
Title: President
Phone Number: 703-424-7803

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
SpaceQuest has no means of downloading its S-Band experimental data as its intended ground station in Esrange, Sweden has incompatible equipment that will take 3-6 months to correct. Emergency temporary authorization is requested until modification of its license can be acted on.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Emergency downlinking of S-band data to a Fairbanks, AK ground station. Please see Attachment 1.

Information
Callsign: WJ2XNV
Class of Station: FX MO
Nature of Service: Experimental

Requested Period of Operation
Operation Start Date: 04/01/2019
Operation End Date: 09/30/2019

Manufacturer
List below transmitting equipment to be installed (if experimental, so state) if additional rows are required, please submit equipment list as an exhibit:  
Manufacturer Model Number No. Of Units Experimental
GomSpace NanoCom A-100 1 No
GomSpace TR600 1 No

Certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
