Best Contact
Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:  
Last Name: Timperio
First Name: Christopher
Title: RF Engineer
Phone Number: 8886919778 EXT329

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Vector Launch is developing a small satellite launch vehicle. Vector will downlink telemetry and video from the vehicle. An STA is required to authorize these transmissions in accordance with FCC table of frequency allocations note US276.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Vector Launch is developing a satellite launch vehicle to place small spacecraft into low Earth orbit (250-450 km). As part of the development program, several low altitude tests are to be conducted. This application is intended to support a single flight of the Vector-R B0.101 launch vehicle. This launch will demonstrate launch capability for the Vector-R B1 and B2 series.
