Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The sole purpose of this STA application is to allow Globalstar to communicate with the CaNOP Cubesat spacecraft (Carthage College and sci_Zone) using Globalstars already-approved ground station network and already-approved satellite constellation (HIBLEO-4). Globalstar is already licensed for use of HIBLEO-4 and the communication frequencies. The only change from Globalstars currently licensed operations is that the Globalstar constellation will be communicating with the FCC-approved modules on a space station rather than communicating with those same terminals while on earth. Globalstars FCC License does not cover space-to-space operation, thus requiring this Experimental License request.
