Exhibit A

GPS data will be downlinked during passes over Los Altos, California and
Buford, Georgia. These passes will occur approximately four times per day. Each
transmission will require approximately two seconds.

Grant of the requested STA poses no concerns for interference. Space-to-ground
transmissions will be de minimis in nature and involve only the two ground stations
identified above. Moreover, Orbcomm, the sole incumbent operator, previously
approved Swarm’s dismissed 0.25U STA request, File Number 0305-EX-CN- 2017, and
SpaceBEE satellites will not transmit co-channel with Orbcomm operations. Swarm
appreciates that experimental operations must occur on a sufferance-only, non-
interference basis. Swarm will immediately mute transmissions in the unlikely event of
interference.

5.0 – Orbital Parameters

All four SpaceBEE satellites currently orbit at approximately 500 km with 97.5
degrees of inclination. Due to launch vehicle operator adjustments these
parameters deviate slightly from those submitted in File Number 0305-EX-
CN-2017, which contemplated a 580 km altitude with 97.7 degrees of inclination.

Detailed information on the orbital parameters of the SpaceBEE satellites are
provided below and in Exhibit B.

ORBITAL DEBRIS ASSESSMENT REPORT
FCC File Number: 0225-EX-ST-2019

Operations
The operational phase of the satellite begins following the successful
deployment of the Swarm satellites from the launch vehicle, and successful
checkout. The operational phase continues until the end of the market study.

Post-mission Disposal
Following the end of the operational phase, the satellites will remain on orbit in a
non-transmitting mode while the orbit of the satellite passively decays until the
satellite reenters the atmosphere and disintegrates. The satellite is nominally
expected to reenter the atmosphere within 5 years following deployment from
the launch vehicle, as detailed in Appendix B: Swarm BEEs Orbit Lifetime.

Selection of Orbit: The selection of the chosen orbit was made due to available launch
opportunities.

Potential Physical As the satellite does not have any propulsion systems, its orbit will naturally
Interference with decay following deployment from the launch vehicle.
Other Orbiting
Object: As detailed in Section 5, the probability of physical interference between the
satellites and other space objects is sufficiently unlikely that the satellite
complies with Requirement 4.5.

ODAR Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups
and Potential for Explosions
Potential causes for spacecraft breakup:
There is only one plausible causes for breakup of the satellites:

● Energy released from onboard Lithium-ion battery from the unlikely event of overcharging or
shorts

Summary of failure modes and effects analysis of all credible failure modes which may lead to an
accidental explosion:
The battery aboard the satellite is a 12.5 Whr Lithium-Ion battery, which represents the only credible
failure mode during which stored energy is released. The main failure modes associated with Lithium Ion
batteries result from overcharging, over-discharging, internal shorts, and external shorts.

The battery onboard Swarm BEE satellites complies with all controls / process requirements identified in
JSC-20793 Section 5.4.3 to mitigate chance of any accidental venting / explosion caused by the above
failure modes.

Detailed Plan for any designed spacecraft breakup, including explosions and intentional
collisions:
There is no planned breakup the satellites on-orbit.

List of components passivated at EOM:
At end of mission, all radio transmissions and beacons will be disabled. Spacecraft transmissions are only
initiated by ground command and self terminate. All RF transmissions from the satellite can be disabled
via command from the ground.

Rationale for all items required to be passivated that cannot be due to design:
N/A

was sufficiently small that the simulation performed using DAS 2.1.2 software returned a probability value
of 0.

ODAR Section 6: Assessment of Spacecraft Post-mission
Disposal Plans and Procedures
Description of Disposal Option Selected:
Following its deployment, the satellite’s orbit will naturally decay until it reenters the atmosphere. Table 1
describes the mission scenarios for which lifetime analysis of Swarm BEEs was considered, and the
effective area-to-mass ratio of the satellite in each scenario. The ratio was calculated using the external
dimensions of the satellite and deployed arrays. The satellites will be deployed from the P-POD with a
spring and will separate from one another with separation springs in the 1/4U feet.

Drag area from deployed antennas (2x 446mm whip antennas) was neglected; as such, the effective
area-to-mass calculated below is a conservative case.

Table 1 - Area-to-Mass Ratio of Swarm Satellites in Various Mission Scenarios
Scenario Description Effective Area-to-Mass (m2/kg)

Operational, Nominal ● Satellite maintains +Z axis nadir 0.01411 (max)
● Satellite maintains position 0.01061 (min)
around Z axis as planned for
mission operations

ADCS Nonfunctional ● Satellite tumbles randomly 0.01411 (max)
0.01061 (min)

Table 2 shows the simulated orbital dwell time for a Swarm BEE satellite for the range of possible orbits,
in each of the identified mission scenarios. In all mission scenarios and orbits, the dwell time of the
satellite was simulated using DAS 2.1.2 software to be less than 10 years.

ODAR Section 9: Orbital Tracking Methodology
[update: All four SPACEBEE satellite have been trackable by the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) by
normal means. No gaps in tracking have occurred, and the satellites are currently being tracked, and the
TLE orbital data is being posted publicly to the SSN database.]

In consideration of the small satellite form factor, the satellites employ a radar return enhancement
technology to ensure passive ground tracking capability by third party tracking services. Each of our
satellites is a ¼-U size, or 100 mm x 100 mm x 28 mm, and is composed of an aluminum frame, and 6
PCBs on each face. Each 100 mm x 100 mm face PCB has a built-in ground plane and solar cells, which
provide the same radar return as a 1U satellite, or a 3U satellite end-on. Each 100 mm x 28 mm face is
composed of a passive Ku-band radar reflector, specifically designed to be used to passively increase the
radar cross section of small satellites for enhanced tracking. Each 100 mm x 28 mm face has an
equivalent radar return signature of a 100 mm x 280 mm area (or 10x larger than it’s actual area), in effect
providing a radar signature equivalent of a 3U satellite, side-on. The passive radar retroreflector was
designed for the Haystack Auxiliary RADAR (HAX) operated by MIT Lincoln Labs, which has the following
capabilities:
Peak Power: 50 Kilowatts
Center frequency: 16.7 GHz (Ku Band)
Bandwidth: 2 GHz
Antenna Diameter: 12.2 meters
Antenna Gain (at 16.7 GHz): 63.6 dB
Antenna Beamwidth: 0.10 degrees
Polarization: Right Hand Circular
Pulse Length: 1.64 milliseconds
Pulse Repetition Frequency: 60 Hz

The radar retroreflectors were developed by Terry Albert at SPAWAR. Albert, Terry R CIV
SPAWARSYSCEN-PACIFIC, 56290 <terry.albert@navy.mil>

The HAX Radar, which is part of the NORAD system, operated by the Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC),
he radar reflectors will improve the RADAR return from the smallsat, and thereby
will track our satellites. T
improve the ability to detect and track it. HAX can track the satellite any time the smallsat flies over it, and
JSpOC calculates the TLEs from the RADAR returns. Any other radar unit in the Ku-band (14.7 GHz to 18.7
GHz) would similarly be able to track our satellites, and would see a signature that is the equivalent to a
3U satellite.

Further, each of our satellites has an onboard GPS receiver, and the GPS location of each of our
satellites is transmitted every time that the satellite is interrogated from the ground. We will have the
ability to silence all RF transmission of the satellite by command from the ground. Our GPS data, and
computed TLEs, will be provided to JSpOC, and any other entity that wishes to receive the live telemetry.
The GPS device will provide telemetry for the hardware lifetime of the satellite, which exceeds the
anticipated orbital lifetime of the satellite.
