Dear Mr. Peace,
Withthis leter, Universal Space Network, Ic. (USN)respectfully submitsthis formal
application for Special Temporary Authority (STA) o provide telemetry and telecommand data
delivery and control support in S—band duringthe Iaunch and early orbit operations (LEOP) of
the SPAINSAT spacecraft
This etris being sent, along with the required FCC Form 159 and accompanying MasterCard
charge for the appropriate amount of $155.00, as required by the FCC as outlied the FCC
booklet "Intemational and Satelite Services Fee Fiing Guide."
"The launch is currently scheduled for February 21" on an Ariane S ECA rocket with a cryogenic
upper stage to launch the SPAINSAT communications spacecraft for the Spanish Ministry of
Defense from Kourou in French Guyana. SPAINSAT is co—manifest with Butelsats Hot Bird 7A.
directt0—home TV broadeasting satellite. USN willsupport the SPAINSAT spacecraft from
approximately 20 minutes after Inunch thru geo—transfer orbit parking.
USN has been contracted to provide orbit—aising telemetry, tracking, and tele—commanding
supportto Space Systems /Loralin Palo Alto, Califomnia. USN is seeking authorization to
provide this support through its South Point, Hawaii earth station
in requesting STA for the above, USN knows that its proposed USN earth station operations are
required to be conducted on an unprotected, non—interference basis to government operations.
USN understands that the STA it is asking to be granted would authorize USN to operate a 13—
meter fixed carth station at Naalehu, Hawaii to be used to provide launch telecommand and
telemetry to SPAINSAT,
USN, headquartered at 1501 Quail Street, Suite 103, Newport Beach, CA 92660, owns and
operates a network of satelite earth stations that provide telemetry, tracking, and control
(telecommanding) ("TT&C®) to commercial and government satelite operators. USN provides
                                                                                            Page 1


customers with access to a TT&C network linking the customer‘s faciitiesto tcustomer‘s
satellite assets in space. USN maintains strategically located remote ground stations around the
earth and a permanent, 7 day—a—week, 24 hours—a—day communications headquarters.
USN is the owner and operator oa fixed satelite earth station located at 93—1704 South Point
Road, Naalehu, Hawaii 96772—0842, atitude 19 degrees 00 50.3" N, longitude 155 degrees 39°
46.6" W (NAD—K3), Site Identifier USHIOI. The earth station has a single Datron 1453 antenna,
Size 13 meters, located 20 meters above ground level and 378 meters above sea level, with
antenna gain on transmit of 45.9dBi @ 2062.0 Mz and on receive of46.9dBi @ 2239 Mz
