2018-06-25ELS_211772

Applications: 0226-EX-CN-2018 and 0343-EX-CN-2018

Comment:

   1) Please ask the applicant to update the form 442 to indicate the requested frequency change.

       Form 422 uplink has been updated to the correct range: 402.65 – 402.70 MHz.

   2) The uplink frequency change needs to be corrected in the SpaceCap as well as the Nature of service.

       The uplink frequency has been changed on applications: 0226-EX-CN-2018 and 0343-EX-CN-2018. Both satellites
       have been reclassified to EW (Earth Exploration Satellites). Updated SpaceCAP files have been uploaded to:

   3) Verify that the downlink maximum peak power is 0dBw

       Please see table below, which references the GOMSpace AX100UL radio data sheet, stating that the peak
       transmit power is 1.0W or 0 dBW. This is the same radio being used on 0226-EX-CN-2018 and 0343-EX-CN-2018.

4) In addition to the EMC analysis provided, the EMC should include an ITU SNS research for Earthstations
   operating in Canada, Mexico and Caribbean.

     The ITU SNS research system located at https://www.itu.int/sns/ is a subscription service for ITU members only.
     The University of Illinois is not a member of the ITU. Upon investigation, there are only 5 US universities that
     are: Gallaudet University, George Mason University, Georgia Institute of Technology, John Hopkins University,
     and University of New Hampshire. Finally, our ground station will be broadcasting in the United States only, and
     our satellites attempting communication during passes over the United States as well.


5)   NOAA may have concerns. Operator may want to discuss directly with NOAA. The point of contact is: Mr.
     Carmelo Rivera carmelo.rivera@noaa.gov

     We have initiated discussion with Mr. Carmelo Rivera to discuss our uplink change to 402.65 – 402.70 MHz.
