Dear Ms. De La Torre:

         GUSA Licensee LLC ("Globalstar") hereby requests a 60—day extension of previously
granted Special Temporary Authority‘ ("STA") for ten of its Commission—licensed earth stations
to communicate with its existing first—generation constellation and launched second generation
satellites while its Application for modification of its earth station licenses to provide such
authority remains pending." Globalstar requests expedited treatment of this extension request


1      As permitted under 47 C.F.R. § 25.120. The previously granted STA requests were filed
under: SES—STA—20100927—01214 (SBRG—1); SES—STA—20101021—01320 (SBRG—2); SES—
STA—20101021—01319 (SBRG—3); SES—STA—20101021—01318 (SBRG—4); SES—STA—20100922—

SES—STA—20101021—01315 (CLFN—4); SES—STA—20101021—01314 (CLFN—5); SES—STA—
20100922—01189 (CLEN—IOT). Technical exhibits for these antennas are attached to the instant
request.

because its current STAs for these earth stations expire between December 18 and December 28,
2010, and Globalstar requires the continued ability to communicate with its satellites from these
earth stations for control purposes. Accordingly, Globalstar requests that the STA extensions be
granted for a period of 60 days, from the date the current STAs for these earth stations expire.

      As explained in connection with its previously granted STA applications, Globalstar has
embarked on a transition to its second—generation satellite constellation. This transition involves
the launch of 24 new satellites, with the first batch of six satellites launched on October 19, 2010.
Globalstar‘s second—generation constellation will consist ofits newly launched satellites, as well
as cight additional first—generation satellites launched in 2007. As such, Globalstar requires the
ability to communicate with all of those satellites from its Commission—licensed U.S. earth
stations. Globalstar understands that the Commission has now received all necessary
information about the Application and that the Commission is in the final stages of processing it.

        In the event that the Commission does not grant Globalstar‘s Application before its STA
for the antennas at issue expire, Globalstar requests that Commission extend the authorizations
granted under its previous requests for STA for an additional 60 days. The public interest
justifications for granting this authority remain substantially the same as those provided in the
previous requests. In short, the public interest will be served by the grant of these STA requests
because they will ensure effective control center communications with launched satellites, and
these operations are necessary to ensure the provision of high quality service to U.S. customers.

         Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.



                                              Respectfully submitted,
