Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Predeployment flight tests and some Arctic sea data collection requires that the radar operates within 200nm of the of the US coastline, requiring authorization from the FCC. This operation is part of fulfilling NASA contract number NNX10AT68G

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The primary objectives of the project are to perform radar measurements as a part of NASA?s OIB (Operation ICE Bridge) program over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, Antarctica and Arctic sea ice. NASA contract number NNX10AT68G. The radar data are to be used to determine ice thickness and map both near-surface and deep internal layers of ice sheets, as well as map the snow-air and snow-ice interfaces for estimating the thickness of snow over sea ice.
