A MEMORANDUM describing the purpose and duration of the license, the make and model of all transmitters and transmitting antennas and their Geographical Coordinates, the desired frequency and all of its associated emissions, MUST accompany a completed and signed copy of this form. A copy of the FCC license application should be included with the memorandum whenever possible. NOTE: PROPRIETARY DATA/CLASSIFIED INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE SUBMITTED. If the applicant received this form in response to a coordination request, it must be completed, signed and returned per the included instructions before AFTRCC can continue processing the request.

AFTRCC’s role is strictly advisory; in all cases the FCC makes the decision whether to issue a license. Applicants are advised that no representations or warranties, express or implied, are made as to the interference-free nature of any given frequency or frequencies which AFTRCC coordinates, or as to whether any given frequency recommendation is best suited for the Applicant’s purposes. Applicants should also be aware that frequencies coordinated by AFTRCC are shared with other users; no one user is entitled to exclusive use of a frequency in any given area. Multiple users may be, and often are, licensed or have government assignments for use of the same frequencies. Hence, notwithstanding FCC issuance of a license to the Applicant, transmission or any given frequency may be subject to day-to-day, hour-by-hour scheduling with Government Area Frequency Coordinators (AFCs) or other agencies. In return for AFTRCC’s processing of the Applicant’s request, the Applicant agrees to release and hold harmless AFTRCC, its officers, directors, agents, representatives, and member companies (and their respective officers, directors, employees, owners, and agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses which may arise now or in the future as a result of the Applicant’s acceptance of AFTRCC’s recommendation, or its use of the recommended frequency(ies). Information supplied in support of a coordination request represents part of the FCC application process. Accordingly, this information is considered public record material. X By checking the signature box, the applicant confirms that they are the duly authorized official named below; Signature: and that they accept and acknowledge the above limitations and conditions.

AFTRCC Form 87-T Attachment February 20, 2019 UP Aerospace Inc. is requesting coordination of telemetry frequencies to be used in a sounding rocket launch between July and December of 2019. Pre-launch system integration testing includes powering on the telemetry transmitter along with all other avionics and payload systems to verify interoperability. These tests would be performed at our Highlands Ranch, CO facility and are tentatively scheduled for mid-July. The duration of telemetry transmitter tests would be an hour or less. These tests may be required to repeat up to four times per day over a two-day period during the integration testing. The launch will take place at Spaceport America in Truth or Consequences, NM with a tentative schedule of early October. The vehicle is expected to reach an apogee of approximately 100 km, and will be recovered within White Sands Missile Range, NM. During the week prior to launch, the telemetry system will need to be tested while the vehicle is on the launch pad. The duration of telemetry transmitter tests would be an hour or less. These tests may be required to repeat up to twice a day. On day of launch, starting approximately 2 hours prior to the opening of the launch window, the telemetry system will be operational. Once the vehicle is launched, the flight time is approximately 15 minutes. The telemetry system is designed to power down approximately 45 minutes after launch. Our Primary partner for both launches is NASA. Due to recent disruptions in government operations, there is a high probability that pre-launch integration and actual launch dates will need to be adjusted. We are requesting a window of operation between July 1 and December 1, 2019 that should provide enough flexibility given the uncertainties.
