Below is International Bureau requests, please send response as soon as you can:

"In the Orbital Debris Assessment Report (ODAR), we need to know more about the use of the laser in
AMES Research Center that will be used for laser ranging experiments.
Please indicate who the ground station laser belongs to and who operates it. Please provide any
additional available information concerning the nature of the laser ranging experiment. What is the
frequency of the laser?
Review of documents (Form 442 and SpaceCapture file)
- Unfortunately, the SpaceCap file provided is not in the proper format; it appears to be a CR/Notification
format which is not the correct format; we need the Advanced Publication Information (API) format, so we
ask the applicant to please resubmit the SpaceCap file in the API format. Also note that in SpaceCap file
box BR3a the Radio Regulation provision referenced currently is 11.2 which is incorrect (it should be
Article 9.1, Sub-section IA.);
- Moreover, we note that the SpaceCap file is missing the whole spacecraft Receiver page (this page
contains all of the uplink information) with associated earth station transmission. Please insert a receiver
page and all the corresponding data.
- We noted that FCC Form 442 does have an uplink; please add the uplink information to both Form 442
and SpaceCap file.
- Furthermore, the SpaceCap file Downlink page, Group ID 1, box C2c “RR No. 4.4” is NOT checked with
“Y”; the applicant will need to mark all the box with “Y”. Also, we notice the beam designation in (box
B1a) could name a simple description such as “downlink” but if the applicant wants the current name we
will not oppose it.
- In the SpaceCap file, Downlink page, Group ID 1, Box C81a “Max peak pwr” has a value of 1.5 dBW,
but in Form 442 the power value is 2.5W which is 4 dBW; please validate the power value and make the
appropriate changes to either document. Be aware in box C8a2 “Max pwr dens” shows -43 dBW/Hz but
this power spectral density value may change if the max power value changes.
Applicant, please ensure that all the data in Form 442 are consistent with the data in SpaceCap API file.
This will expedite our review of the application. Also, we suggest to PRINT the SpaceCap file when
reviewing the final version. Having a hard copy helps pickup items that may have been missed and it
helps when comparing it with Form 442."



The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced
application. Failure to provide the requested information within 30 days of August 17, 2016 may result in
application dismissal pursuant to Section 5.67 and forfeiture of the filing fee pursuant to Section 1.1108.
