FCC Form 442 Exhibit 2 File #: 0469-EX-CN-2017 1. Ownership, Operations and Construction. The University of North Carolina at Wilmington Center for Marine Science (“UNCW/CMS”) is the owner and operator of the SeaHawk satellites. UNCW/CMS has selected Clyde Space Ltd., headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland as the manufacturer of the satellites and Spaceflight Industries of Seattle, Washington as the launch provider. SeaHawk-1 is expected to be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle from Vandenberg, AFB in California (geographic coordinates 34.5762°N; 4.2803°W) in the 1st Quarter of 2018. The estimated launch date for SeaHawk-2 is in the 1st Quarter of 2019. Pursuant to Part 5 §5.64 of the Commission’s Rules, construction of the proposed experimental satellites and associated facilities will begin prior to the Commission’s grant of an authorization. This is necessary given the nature of satellite construction and technical requirements over long lead times. Such construction is entirely at UNCW/CMS’ risk without any assurances that its proposed experiment will be subsequently approved. • Space Station Name: SeaHawk-1 and SeaHawk-2 • SeaHawk-1 Estimated Construction Completion Date: September 2017 • Spaceflight Final Certification of Licenses (Go/NoGo): October, 2017 • Estimated Launch Date for SeaHawk-1: 1st Quarter 2018 • Purpose: Experimental, non-Common Carrier basis • Orbital Type: NGSO 2. Orbital Requirements. The satellites are designed to operate in circular sun- synchronous orbits. The satellites are based on COTS technology that allows for small, lightweight and low-cost spacecraft.

Service Area: United States 4. Satellite Payload. For the SeaHawk satellite mission (Sustained Ocean Color Observations with Nanosatellites (“SOCON”), each of the 2 SeaHawk CubeSats will be outfitted with a low-cost, multispectral, ocean color sensor with spatial characteristics comparable to SeaWiFS capable of collection of near-synoptic color data in open- ocean to coastal-margin to near-shore terrestrial environment. UNCW/CMS has consulted with NOAA on the SOCON mission and after NOAA approval of a draft application, has submitted a license application which is currently under review. An Orbital Debris Assessment Report (“ODAR”) has also been submitted with the NOAA application. The sensor has the capability of collection of the 8 SeaWiFS bands and designed with form factor fit into a custom 3U (i.e., 3 Units or 10cm3 or 10x10x30 cm) CubeSat; have spatial resolution of approximately 120 km and swath of 230 km in a 575 km LEO orbit. The Hawkeye sensors are designed to measure ocean, lake and river reflectivities in 8 spectral bands with high signal to noise ratio, 149 to 487 (.032 to .098 of SeaWifs), at typical radiances. The 8 bands follow SeaWiFS heritage with the center wavelength and bandwidths provided in the table below: 1.

FCC Form 442 Exhibit 2 File #: 0469-EX-CN-2017 The HawkEye Ocean Color Camera is approximate 10x10x10 cm with a mass of approximately 900 grams with 4 linear array CCDs in individual packages, one for each two bands. A picture of the completed sensor is presented in Figure 1. Figure 1. HawkEye Ocean Color Scanner 5. Principle Specifications. The UNCW/CMS SeaHawk satellites are identical. Each CubeSat measures 10 cm x 10 cm x 34 cm with a total mass of less than 4.8 kg. It has 4 double sided deployable solar panels, two 3U deployable panels and two 2U deployable panels that generate approximately 22 watts of power in sunlight. The Standalone 40Wh Battery consists of two lithium polymer pouch cells in a 2s3p arrangement with a typical capacity of 3900mAhr at a nominal 7.6V (full battery operational voltage range from 6.0 - 8.4V). The X-Band patch antenna is located in the long side of the satellite body (picture below). Two UHF and two VHF monopole whip antennas are deployed from the ADM (Antenna Deployment Module). The spacecraft has an estimated design lifetime of 18 months at a nominal orbit altitude of 575 km. Figure 2. Location of the Spacecraft Antennas 6. Telemetry, Tracking and Command. Under the direction and control of UNCW/CMS, the UNCW/CMS satellites will receive TT&C communications from a gateway earth station located at Clyde Space in Glasgow, Scotland using the uplink band of 140-150 MHz licensed by Ofcom. UNCW/CMS commands will be communicated to the TT&C from the mission operations center in Wilmington, North Carolina, and then uplinked to the satellites. The EXHIBIT 2 PAGE 4 TH E UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT WILMINGTON CENTER FOR MARINE SCIENCE

FCC Form 442 Exhibit 2 File #: 0469-EX-CN-2017 satellites will transmit TT&C data to the earth station using the downlink band of 400-420 MHz. The science data collected by the satellites’ ocean color sensor, will be downlinked via the X-Band 8100 MHz frequency to NASA’s Near Earth Network (“NEN”). The primary receiver for the SOCON data will be Wallops Flight Facility Ground Station in Virginia. There are two NASA NEN secondary receivers for the SOCON data in Fairbanks, Alaska. 7.

Power Flux Density Calculation Figure 3 PDF at the Surface of the Earth produced by SeaHawk satellite Downlinks Shown for 575 km orbit (a) Power Flux Density at the Surface of the Earth for the 8100 MHz Frequency ITU-R Recommendation SA-1157 specifies a maximum allowable interference power spectral flux-density level at the Earth’s surface of -255.1 dB(W/(m2·Hz)) to protect ground receivers in the deep-space research band 8400-8450 MHz. The SeaHawk satellites do not operate in this frequency range, so no special precautions are warranted. (b) Power Flux Density at the Geostationary Satellite Orbit No. 22.5 of the ITU Radio Regulations specifies that in the frequency band 8025-8400 MHz, which the EESS (using non-geostationary satellites) shares with the fixed-satellite service EXHIBIT 2 PAGE 8 TH E UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT WILMINGTON CENTER FOR MARINE SCIENCE

FCC Form 442 Exhibit 2 File #: 0469-EX-CN-2017 (Earth-to-space) and the meteorological-satellite service (Earth-to-space), the maximum PFD produced at the geostationary satellite orbit (“GSO”) by any EESS space station shall not exceed –174 dB(W/m2) in any 4-kHz band. The calculation below shows that the PFD produced by the transmissions from the proposed SeaHawk satellites does not exceed the limit in No. 22.5, even in the worst possible hypothetical case. The PFD at the GSO produced by the SeaHawk satellite transmission is: PFD [dBW/m2 /4 kHz] = EIRP (dBW) - 71 - 20log10(D) - 10log10(BW) – 24 Where: • EIRP is the Maximum EIRP of the transmission, in dBW; • D is distance between the UNCW/CMS satellite and GSO, in km; • BW is the symbol bandwidth of the transmission, in MHz. The minimum possible distance between a SeaHawk satellite and the GSO is 35,786 - 575 = 35,211 km for the highest possible SeaHawk satellite orbit of 575 km. Under a hypothetical assumption that the SeaHawk satellite antenna is radiating at its peak EIRP toward the GSO, the X-Band transmission with the peak EIRP = 9.35 dBW and BW = 90 MHz produces a PFD at the GSO of -196.122 dBW/m2/4 kHz. 10. Interference Analysis 8100 MHz (Primary Data Downlink) The 8025-8400 MHz band is allocated for a number of uses including non-Federal use for EESS (Earth-to-space) subject to such conditions as may be applied on a case-by-case basis. Further, transmissions from the satellites operating in this band shall not cause harmful interference to Federal and non-Federal stations operating in accordance with the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations. UNCW/CMS will coordinate with Federal and non-Federal operators in this band to ensure compliance with this requirement. UNCW/CMS has taken time to understand and include mitigation techniques outlined in the ECC Report 155, for operating its satellite downlink in the 8100 MHz frequency. Below are the key steps taken to minimize risk of interference. • UNCW/CMS satellites operate in a non-broadcast mode, only radiating when transmitting data to one or more of the NASA NEN ground stations. The transmitter will be switched on according to the on-board schedule in order to match a ground station pass. • UNCW/CMS satellites operate in the lower portion of the 8025 – 8400 MHz band. • UNCW/CMS satellites operate well within the power flux density requirements. EXHIBIT 2 PAGE 9 TH E UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT WILMINGTON CENTER FOR MARINE SCIENCE

FCC Form 442 Exhibit 2 File #: 0469-EX-CN-2017 • UNCW/CMS has initially been performing pre-flight with the NASA NEN. When SeaHawk is on orbit we will schedule test contacts with each of the NASA NEN stations and apertures to perform “on orbit certification” in lieu of a pre-launch compatibility test. Once the NEN has certified/demonstrated their ability to successfully receive our signal and have accurately configured the grounds station, we will enter an operational phase. • The Syrlinks X-Band Transmitter is in conformance with the NTIA and ITU-R PFD limits and in conformance with the DSN protection criteria – clearing the 8100 MHz frequency for potential use for this mission. (a) Interference between EESS systems operating in the band 8025-8400 MHz Interference between the SeaHawk satellites and those of other systems is unlikely because EESS systems operating in the 8025-8400 MHz band normally transmit only in short periods of time while visible from the dedicated receiving earth stations (typically less than 10 minutes for a single pass). SeaHawk satellites are designed to be non-broadcast satellites. For interference to happen, satellites belonging to different systems would have to travel through the antenna beam of the receiving earth station and transmit at the same time and at same frequency. In such a very unlikely event, interference can be still be avoided by coordinating the satellite transmissions so that they do not occur simultaneously. (b) Interference with the Fixed Service and the FSS in the band 8025-8400 MHz SeaHawk satellite transmissions will meet the limits specified by the ITU for protection of the Fixed Service in the 8025-8400 MHz band, as well as the geostationary FSS satellites using this band for their uplinks. See Section 9(b) above. 400-420 MHz (TT&C Downlink) Interference with U.S. federal assignment in the 400-420 MHz band is unlikely as they will only be transmitting when over the associated TT&C ground station in Glasgow, Scotland. When not transmitting, the transceiver shall operate in a Morse code beacon mode for broadcasting identification and basic health data for tracking. A 24-hour contact for interference issues is provided in Section 13 below. 11. SeaHawk Satellite Link Budgets. The coverage area diameter from an altitude of 575 km is approximately 5,000 km. Each satellite will pass over the U.S. about 4 times a day for approximately 7 minutes. The satellite transmitters are only active while communicating with user terminals. Following are the SeaHawk Satellite Link budgets. EXHIBIT 2 PAGE 10 TH E UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT WILMINGTON CENTER FOR MARINE SCIENCE
