                                      ORBITAL DEBRIS PLAN

Below is an orbital debris plan for the exactEarth “EV1” satellite (“Satellite”) submitted in
support of the Kongsberg Satellite Services (“KSAT”) non-common carrier earth station
application of February 18, 2016 (IBFS File No. SES-REG-20160218-00154). The statement is
prepared by KSAT in conjunction with its customer, exactEarth, the satellite owner and
operator, in accordance with requirements of 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.137(d); 25.114(d)(14).

The Satellite was launched in 2012. It uses an off-the-shelf platform from Surrey Satellite
Technology Ltd. (SSTL-100), designed to prevent the release of debris during the mission and
having the robustness to withstand the impact of small debris. The SSTL-100 platform contains
a low-power propulsion system intended to be used for minor orbital corrections and the
avoidance of orbital debris.

The Satellite is part of the exactEarth AIS satellite constellation.1 While the orbital perigees of
the satellites in the exactEarth constellation are generally below 625 km (an altitude suitable for
AIS signal collection), the Satellite was launched in a ride share arrangement to a significantly
higher orbit. Unique among the satellites operated by exactEarth, all of which will reenter
within 25 years post-mission, the Satellite will not. From this higher orbit, reentry within that
time frame would be possible only with a substantially larger propulsion system; such a system
could not be accommodated on the SSTL-100 platform.

exactEarth’s current policy, consistent with space industry standards and best practices, calls for
25-year post-mission reentry of its satellites. Taking advantage of the increased options for
launches of secondary payloads, exactEarth plans to add two satellites to its constellation this
year, both of which will reenter within 25 years post-mission. As a satellite operator, exactEarth
recognizes the importance of debris mitigation and the collective responsibility of all space
actors to take measures to minimize the threat of debris to other operational spacecraft and to
ensure that the usable orbits remain accessible for future missions.



1   Most of the satellites in the exactEarth constellation were authorized by the Commission’s Office of
    Engineering and Technology as “AprizeSats,” all with approved orbital debris plans. See letter from
    D. Lorenzini, AprizeSat, to A. Serafini, FCC, OET (Sept. 9, 2010) (supplementing their experimental
    license application, FCC File No. 0084-EX-ML-2010, with debris plans for AprizeSats 3-6); letter from
    D. Lorenzini, AprizeSat, to A. Serafini, FCC, OET (June 12, 2012) (supplementing their experimental

                                                Exhibit D - Orbital Debris Mitigation Statement
                                                        IBFS File No. SES-REG-20160218-00154
                                                                                 FCC Form 312
                                                                Kongsberg Satellite Services AS

KSAT applauds the Commission’s Satellite Division for its policy foresight and efforts to
mitigate debris, and respectfully requests lenient treatment of this isolated case. Despite the
Satellite operator’s current policy of compliance with the 25-year reentry guideline, the
Satellite’s low-power propulsion system is unable to compensate for the high perigee at end of
mission. No action short of physical retrieval of the Satellite, which is not an available
commercial option, could change the orbit of the Satellite so as to conform to the 25-year reentry
guideline.

KSAT also requests a waiver of Section 25.283(c) of the Commission’s rules,2 to the extent
applicable, concerning discharge of batteries at end of mission. Good cause exists for this
treatment as the underlying purpose of the Commission’s policy—to mitigate debris—is
effectively achieved here even though the battery’s charging circuits are not severed at the end
of the mission. As explained below, the battery contains many of the safety features highlighted
in NASA’s Guidelines on Lithium-ion Battery Use in Space Applications, NASA/TM-2009-
215751.

The Satellite uses a Lithium-ion battery. The Li-ion cells used in the battery are Sony 18650
Hard Carbon commercial cylindrical cells. The battery is shielded within the Satellite structure
and is designed to prevent breakups; it contains self-protection circuits to avoid over charging
(that could result in an explosion). The battery is located in an area where an explosion or
rupture would not break the spacecraft’s outer shell.

The battery is protected from overcharge by dump resistors in the power system that shunt the
charging current when a voltage clamps above an upper level. Once the battery returns to
nominal voltage, the clamp is taken off and the dump resistors become inactive again. The cells
within the battery are also individually protected against overcharge (for example, if a cell in a
string becomes mismatched as it ages). In such case, the pressure increase in the cell will
activate a Current Interrupt Device that will permanently open circuit the cell (and hence string)
in the battery.


2   Several precedents exist for waiver of strict compliance with Section 25.283(c). See, e.g., Dish
    Operating L.L.C. License Modification Application Grant, IBFS File No. SES-MFS-20080926-01242,
    Condition 487 (Jan. 30, 2009) (granting a waiver of sec. 25.283(c) for Ciel-2 in part because of “the
    limited probability that [residual stored energy sources] would result in . . . an explosion or
    deflagration large enough to release orbital debris”); Panasonic Avionics Corp. License Modification
    Application Grant, IBFS File No. SES-MFS-20130930-00845, Condition 90168 (Sept. 24, 2014) (granting
    a waiver of sec. 25.283(c) for Apstar 7, a Thales Alenia Space Spacebus-4000C2 model spacecraft that
    was launched on March 31, 2012, which was unable to deplete all residual stored energy).

The Sony cell also has a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) switch which will heat up when
a large current (charge or discharge) occurs in the cell, and limit the current by increasing the
resistance. In the case of over pressure caused by excessive temperature (due to external heat
for example), there is an external disc that will puncture and vent the cell safely.
