Special Temporary Authority (STA)




DG Consents Sub, Inc. (DG Consents) is granted extension of the current STA SES—STA—
201305—00353 to operate its fixed earth station to communicate with GeoEye—1 satellite, Call
Sign S$2348, and IKONOS, NGSO Satellite, Call Sign S$2144, for 60 days on the center
frequencies: 2042 MHz, 2052 MHz , and 2092 MHz, (Earth—to—space), and frequency band 8025
— 8395 MHz (space—to—Earth) under the following conditions:

1. DG Consents shall limit transmissions to 53.0 dBW per carrier on the center frequencies 2042
and 2052 MHz.

2. DG Consents shall limit transmissions to 55.0 dBW per carrier on the center 2092 MHz MHz.

3. DG Consents, shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from,
interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station and it shall cease transmission(s)
immediately upon notice of such interference.

4. The remote control point for E040264 located at 1601 Dry Creek Drive, Suite 260,
Longmont, Boulder, CO, must provide 24 X 7 contact availability at 303—684—4587. In the event
that there is a report of interference DG Consents must immediately terminate transmissions and
notify the FCC in writing.

5. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special
temporary authority is solely at DG Consent‘s risk.

6. Grant of this STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make
regarding pending application, SES—MOD—20130228—00229, nor is it of a continuing
nature. Future STA requests must document rationale of existence of extraordinary
circumstances requiring temporary operations in the public interest and that delay in the
institution of these temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public
interest. Convenience to the applicant, such as marketing considerations or meeting scheduled
customer in—service dates, will not be deemed sufficient for this purpose. See 47 C.F.R.
25.120(b)(1).

This action is issued pursuant to Section O 261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority,
47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effectl}lg.

         Description of Request for Special Temporary Authority Extension



      DG Consents Sub, Inc. ("DG Consents"), pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the
Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3), hereby requests a 60—day extension of its
existing Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to communicate between its Earth
Exploration Satellite Service ("EESS") earth station in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska (Call Sign
E040264) and the GeoEye—1 and IKONOS space stations. See File No. SES—STA—
20130501—00353. The existing STA expires on July 5, 2013, and DG Consents requests
an extension through September 3, 2013.

       In its initial request for STA, DG Consents explained that it required temporary
operating authority to allow for immediate testing of communications links between the
Prudhoe Bay earth station and GeoEye—1 and IKONOS in advance of Commission action
on DG Consent‘s concurrently filed request for permanent authority. See File No. SES—
MOD—20130228—00229. That request for permanent authority (which was accepted for
filing on June 26, 2013) remains pending before the Commission, and DG Consents‘
need to operate from Prudhoe Bay will continue past the July 5 expiration date of the
existing STA. Accordingly, DG Consents requests an additional 60 days of STA pending
Commission action on the application for permanent authority. Grant of this extension
request will serve the public interest by enabling DigitalGlobe, Inc., parent company of
DG Consents, to continue consolidation of its existing and newly acquired EESS
operations without delay and assure the continued safe operation of the two subject space
craft. DG Consents affirms that extended operations will continue in accordance with
the conditions attached to the initial grant of STA.

        In summary, DG Consents respectfully requests that the Commission grant this
request for extension of its Special Temporary Authority for a period of 60 days
commencing on July 5, 2013.
