12. Description

Astrium Services Government,   Inc. requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority (STA)   for
testing of a 16 .4 Meter C—Band Hub Antenna located at its Santa Paula, CA Teleport utilizing a low
power CW Carrier to communicate with the NSS—9 Satellite located at 177 W.L.    Justification for

                               Astrium Services Government, Inc.

                          Request for Special Temporary Authority for
             Testing of Santa Paula, CA Teleport 16.4 Meter C—Band Hub Antenna
                              Utilizing Low Power CW Carrier to
                        Communicate With NSS—9 Satellite at 177 W.L.

                 Astrium Services Government, Inc. (Astrium) requests a grant of Special
Temporary Authority ("STA") for testing of a 16.4 Meter C—Band Hub Antenna located at its
Santa Paula, CA Teleport utilizing a low power CW Carrier to communicate with the NSS—9
Satellite located at 177 W.L. Grant of this STA is in the public interest because the purpose of
the testing is to help prepare the antenna for operations which will support the Federal Aviation
Authority Wide Area Augmentation System.

        A Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report for a Hub Antenna which
communicates with NSS—9 utilizing significantly higher power than will be used for the testing
and which is located only 40 feet from the antenna to be tested is attached to the STA application
to satisfy the Coordination requirements for this application. As detailed in the referenced
underlying Modification Application the antenna fully complies with all Commuission
Regulations and no waivers are needed or requested for operation of the antenna. All technical
characteristics and parameters for the testing follow on the next page.

        Accordingly, Astrium respectfully requests that the Bureau grant the STA for a period of
thirty days beginning August 4, 2014. Any questions with respect to this matter may be directed
to James G. Lovelace at (301)838—7839.
