2.0 - Description of Application

       Swarm Technologies (“Applicant” or “Swarm”), pursuant to Section 5.61 of the
Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC’s” or “Commission’s”) Rules, 47 C.F.R.
§ 5.61, hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to downlink orbital data
from four (4) SpaceBEE satellites presently in orbit. The STA is sought for a period of
180 days beginning not later than July 15, 2018.

        Consistent with the standards set forth in Section 5.61, STA is needed for the
discrete purpose of downlinking orbital data collected by Swarm satellites. Timely grant
of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing Swarm to downlink orbital
data from Swarm SpaceBEE satellites in orbit. Such data, as discussed in Section 3.0
below, will reflect near-real time information and will be made available through a
publicly accessible web portal to satellite operators and federal agencies to ensure that
interested parties have access to current orbital parameters for Swarm SpaceBEEs.

3.0 – Swarm SpaceBEE Data

        STA would allow Swarm to obtain and share telemetry packets containing
essential orbital data. This data includes rotational and magnetometer data, as well as
comprehensive GPS tracking information, such as latitude/longitude, altitude, course,
speed, and satellite count.

        All SpaceBEE satellite data, current within 0.5 seconds following downlink from
a Swarm ground station, will be uploaded to a web portal located at www.swarm-
technologies.com/gpsdata. Interested parties may obtain an ID and password to access
the portal by emailing Sophie Arlow at sophie@swarm-technologies.com.

4.0 – RF Transmissions

       Swarm seeks narrow authority to transmit data from the SpaceBEE satellites in
order to access tracking information. The SpaceBEE satellites will only transmit to
enable downlinking of GPS data, and will be muted at all other times. GPS data will be
downlinked during passes over Los Altos, California and Buford, Georgia. These passes

                                           1


                                                               Swarm Technologies
                                                 STA File Number: 1140-EX-ST-2018
                                                                         Exhibit A

will occur approximately four times per day. Each transmission will require
approximately two seconds.

        Grant of the STA poses no concerns for interference. Space-to-ground
transmissions under the proposed STA 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 STA 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.

Sites

Launch Vehicle        Astrix/ ISRO
Operator:

Mission Duration:     The operational lifetime of the hardware for each satellite is designed to be up
                      to​ 10​ years following deployment from the launch vehicle. The orbital lifetime for
                      the satellites is nominally expected to be between ​4.490 to 4.901 year​s,
                      depending on the vehicle’s orbit, and solar influence of the Earth’s atmosphere,
                      as described in Section 6.


Launch /              Launch
Deployment Profile:   The Swarm satellites will be injected directly into the target orbits outlined in the
                      table above.

                      Checkout
                      For up to 1 month following deployment into orbit, the Swarm satellites will
                      remain in checkout phase. During this phase, ground operators will verify
                      correct operation of the satellite and its payloads, and prepare it for the
                      operational phase.


                        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 y​ears 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

A DAS 2.1.2 log demonstrating the compliance to the above requirements is available in Appendix A –
“DAS 2.1.2 Log”.




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:

 There are no planned breakups of any of the satellites.

 4.4-4, Limiting the short-term risk to other space systems from planned breakups      COMPLIANT
 There are no planned breakups of any of the satellites.




ODAR Section 5: Assessment of Spacecraft Potential for On-Orbit
Collisions

Probability for Collision with Objects >10cm:


The probability of a collision of any of the satellites with an orbiting object larger than 10 cm in diameter
was sufficiently small that the simulation performed using DAS 2.1.2 software returned a probability value
of 0.


 Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirement 4.5-1 and 4.5-2:

 4.5-1, Probability of Collision with Large Objects:                                     COMPLIANT

 4.5-2, Probability of Damage from Small Objects:                                        COMPLIANT
A DAS 2.1.2 log demonstrating the compliance to the above requirements is available in Appendix A –
“DAS 2.1.2 Log”.




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 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 us​ing 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.
