SAT—LO4—20161115—00118 and SAT—LOA—20170301—00027 Dear Ms. Dortch: This is to inform you that, on May 9, 2017, representatives of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. ("SpaceX") met with Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and David Grossman, her Chief of Staff, with respect to the above referenced proceedings. Present at the meeting on behalf of SpaceX were Gwynne Shotwell, President, Satellite Government Affairs, Mat Dunn, Senior Director, Government Affairs, and Julianna Scheiman, Mission Manager. During the meeting, SpaceX highlighted its ongoing space transportation services business and its ongoing encouragement for the Commission to act in this proceeding and allocate spectrum resources for commercial space launch operations.‘ Such an allocation would be a significant step toward streamlining launch spectrum licensing in the future, an efficiency that will become even more importantas the cadence of commercial launch and reentry activities increases and additional companies join the U.S. commercial sector over the next few years. SpaceX expressed its hope that this proceeding could be resolved in thenear future to implement the allocations proposed and that in the longer term, all spectrum needed for commercial launch activities could be allocated for that use. SpaceX also discussed its applications for operating authority for a non—geostationary orbit ("NGSO") satellite system in the Fixed—Satellite Service ("FSS") bands of Ku—, Ka—band and V— band." SpaceX reiterated its belief thatthe pending Notice of Proposed Rulemaking? to update the Commission‘s Part 2 and 25 rules presents an opportunity for U.S. leadership by develop fair \ See Amendment ofPart 2 ofthe Commission‘s Rulesfor Federal Earth Stations Communicating with Non— Federal Fixed Satellite Service Space Stations, 28 FCC Red. 6608, T 65—88 (2013). 2 See IBFSFile Nos.
