Text for STA Modification(?) to Include Testing via Link to NIMIQ 2 Satellite

The text below should be included in Attachment 2 under Item 11 in an electronic STA
request (application). Under Item 12, can have text referring reader to Attachment 2:

Boeing requests modification to previously granted special temporary authority (STA) to
allow greater flexibility in SPACEWAY telemetry and command (T&C) antenna test
program by including uplink to NIMIQ 2 (91° W.L.) Ka-band FSS payload in addition to
currently authorized uplink to ACTS (105.3° W.L.) satellite. NIMIQ 2 was launched in
December 2002 and is operated by Telesat Canada. Boeing is collaborating with Telesat
Canada for compatible use of their satellite. As was previously demonstrated in Boeing's
original STA requests with respect to T&C antenna testing via ACTS, Boeing will choose
frequencies and schedules for transmitting from T&C earth stations located at Canoga
Park, California and Littleton, Colorado to NIMIQ 2 as to avoid interference with the
ACTS satellite. These parameters will be coordinated with ACTS program personnel at
Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, to confirm their acceptability.
