Attachment to Grant IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20120322—00058 Call Sign $2862 The application of Skybox Imaging, Inc. (Skybox), IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20120322—00058, for authority to construct, launch and operate a non—geostationary—orbit satellite system, Call Sign $2862, consisting of two Earth Exploration Satellite Service space stations, SkySat—1 and SkySat—2, IS GRANTED. Accordingly, SkySat—1 and SkySat—2 are authorized to transmit telemetry signals and remote—sensing data in the 8025—8400 MHz frequency band (space—to— Earth) from circular orbits with altitudes from 450 to 637 km, depending on the launch vehicle used, and with inclination ranging between 85 and 100 degrees, and to receive command signals on center frequencies of 2081 MHz and 2083 MHz. Operations under this authorization must be in accordance with the technical specifications in the above—referenced application and Federal Communications Commission rules not waived herein, and are subject to the following conditions: 1. Skybox shall prepare the necessary information, as may be required, for submission to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to initiate and complete the advance publication, international coordination, due diligence, and notification process for these space stations, in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. Skybox shall be held responsible for all cost—recovery fees associated with ITU filings. No protection from interference caused by radio stations authorized by other administrations is guaranteed unless coordination and notification procedures are timely completed or, with respect to individual administrations, by successfully completing coordination agreements. Any radio station authorization for which coordination has not been completed may be subject to additional terms and conditions as required to effect coordination of the frequency assignments of other administrations. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.111(b). 2. Power flux—density from operation of the SkySat—1 and SkySat—2 space stations in the 8025—8400 MHz band must not exceed the limits in No. 22.5 or Table 21—4 of the International Telecommunication Union‘s Radio Regulations or the limits in ITU—R Recommendation SA— 1157. 3. Operations pursuant to this authorization must not cause harmful interference to stations operating in the 2025—2110 MHz band in accordance with the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations. See 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, Footnote US347. 4. Given the opportunity for additional entrants to operate in Skybox‘s requested frequency bands, we grant Skybox‘s request for a waiver of the modified processing round requirements in 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.156 and 25.157. See DigitalGlobe, Inc., Order and Authorization, 20 FCC Red 15696 (Sat. Div., Int‘l Bur. 2005) at paragraph 8. 5. Because Skybox must comply with technical requirements in Part 2 of the Commission‘s rules, which should prevent harmful interference to other operators in the band, we grant its request for a waiver of the default service rules in 47 C.F.R. § 25.217(b). See DigitalGlobe, Inc., supra, at paragraph 15. 6. Unless extended by the Commuission for good cause shown, this authorization shall become null and void in the event the space stations are not constructed and launched in accordance with this application by the schedule set forth in Section 25.164(b) of the Commission‘s rules.

Within 30 days after launching each satellite authorized herein, Skybox must file a notification with the Commission specifying the satellite‘s orbital altitude and inclination. 9. The license term for the constellation is 15 years and will begin on 3 a.m. EST on the date that Skybox certifies to the Commission that its initial space station has been successfully placed into orbit and its operations fully conform to the terms and conditions of this authorization. Skybox must file such certification within five business days of placing its initial satellite into operation. 10. Skybox is afforded 30 days from the date of release of this authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned.
