Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
- Planning to perform proof of concept balloon demonstration over Mojave Desert in January-February 2014 to support both DoD DARPA SeeMe and USA SMDC Kestrel Eye Programs - Original January-February 2014 test dates postponed until better weather conditions occur, which is the reason why an extension of file number 1075-EX-ST-2013 was requested as the basis of this application. Test dates are on a weekend to weekend basis dependent on weather conditions before test. Once test is complete, Millennium can coordinate to close the grant so the grant does not run further than the test date.
