Frequencies: 8025-8400 MHz (data downlinks) Telemetry and Tracking: 120 kHz channel centered on 8386 MHz Receive command: 64 kHz channel centered on 2052 MHz. Operations under this grant must comport with the legal and technical specifications set forth by the applicant or petitioner and with Federal Communication Commission’s rules not waived herein. This grant is also subject to the following conditions: 1. The power flux-density from operation of the WorldView-4 space station 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 1TU-R Recommendation SA-1157. 2. Upon receipt of a conjunction warning from the JSpOC or other source, DG Consents must review the warning and take all possible steps to assess and, if necessary, to mitigate collision risk, including, but not limited to: contacting the operator of any active spacecraft involved in such warning; sharing ephemeris data and other appropriate operational information with any such operator; modifying spacecraft attitude and/or operations. 3. Because DG Consents must comply with the technical requirements in Part 2 of the Commission’s rules and the above-referenced power flux-density limits, 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 CFR § 25 .217(b).
