Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
To test a LEO satellite data relay system involving RF crosslinks and an optical downlink. Beta test clients will crosslink data from their own satellites using RF, Analytical Space will store that data onboard, and then downlink using optical to a ground station. RF will be used for TTC and back-up data downlink. Beta test clients will submit their own STAs for their new satellites or submit a STA to add to their existing authorizations, as applicable, to ensure proper spectrum usage and mission authorization. Experiment slotted to begin in October but exact dates of experiment may shift upon final flight schedule with launch currently booked through Nanoracks and deployment to be from the ISS. Regardless of launch date, the demo satellites operations will not exceed 6 months and no part of the satellite shall survive re-entry.
