FCC Form 312 STA Artachment November 2005 EXPLANATION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEM Lockheed Martin Corporation (*Lockheed Martin®), pursuant to Section 25.120 ofthe Commission‘s Rules (47 C.F.R. § 25.120), hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (*STA®)to operate ts RPS—1 space station atthe 133.25° W.L orbital location for a period of 30 days, commensing on December S, 2005. This temporary operation is necessitated by requirements relating to RPS—1‘s host spacecraft, Galaxy 15, the replacement satelite for Galaxy1R. As detailed in the separate STA request filed today by PanAmSat Corporation (*PanAmSat")to operate at 133.25° W ., Galaxy 1R continues to operate at133.0° W.L.,and iis therefore necessary to station Galaxy 15 at an orbital location offset slightly from 133.0° W.L.on an interim basis. See FCC File No. SAT—STA—20081123— 00251. Accordingly, PanAmSatis secking to place Galaxy 15 temporarily at 133.25° W.L.,and Lockheed Martin is requesting authority to operate at the same location. Authority to operate the RPS—1 space station commencing on December 5, 2005 is necessary to accommodate plans for additional testing of the RNSS payload. See Lockheed Martin Corporation, DA 05—1747 (Int‘I Bur, June 23, 2005) (FCC File No saT—LoA—19990427—00047) Lockheed Martin emphasizes that grant ofthe requested STA will present norisk ofiterference to other authorized users oftfrequencies assigned to Lockheed Martin. There are several RNSS satellite networks and systems — including the U.S. Global Positioning System (°GPS") non—geosttionary satelite orbit RNSS system — that currently operate on frequencies that overlap with RPS—1 in the 1565.17—1585.67 MHz band, and there is only one RNSS satelite network that currently operates on frequencies that overlap with RPS—1 in the 1166.20—1186.70 MHz band. Because RNSS systems and networks have ubiquitous coverage of the earth, there is a potentialfor iterference from an RNSS network located at any given satelite orbital location. Lockheed Martin understands is obligationto coordinate its use of RNSS frequencies with all RNSS systems and networks potentilly affected by its temporary operation at 133.25° W.L. In this regard, Lockheed Martin has apprised the GPS Joint Program Office on the temporary operation of RPS—1 at 133.25° W.L., and will undertake any further coordination necessary. It will do the same for any potentialy affected non—U.S. RNSS networks PanAmSatis currenty in the process ofanalyzing the fuel remaining on Galaxy 1R t determine when trific at133.0° W.L. will be transferred to Galaxy 15. ‘The timing ofthat transition will ditate when RPS—1 willbe ready for operationat the assigned 133° W.L. location.

Lockheed Martin‘s STA request is supported by good cause. Circumstances beyond its control dictate temporary operation at 133.25° W.L. until Galaxy 1R is moved from the 133° W.L. location. Grant ofthe request will enable Lockheed Martin to continue testing the RNSS capabiltes ofthe facility and to prepare t for permanent operation atits assigned location. For the foregoing reasons, Lockheed Martin respectfully requests an STA that enables t to operate ts RPS—I space station at the 133.25° W.L. orbiallocation for a period of 30 days beginning December 5, 2005.
