 Universal Space Network, Inc. (USN)
 File No.:        SES—STA—20150213—00080
 Call Sign:       None

  Universal Space Network, Inc. (USN) is granted special temporary authority to operate
_ its fixed earth station in North Pole, AK, to conduct a ranging campaign of the Sentinels—
  1A spacecraft. Communications shall consist of ranging (tone uplink), telecommand, and
  telemetry of the satellite. Authority is granted under the following conditions.


  1.   _Operations are limited to the following frequencies, emissions and power limits:

 Frequency                        Emissions    Max.EIRP(dBW)            Max.EIRP Den.(dBW/4KHz)

 Transmitting

 Receiving:
 2254.099 MHz                     400K0G1D

 2. Operations must comply with the satellite operator‘s coordinated agreements for the
    Sentinels—1A spacecraft with U.S. satellite operators. If no agreements exist then
    operations are not permitted.
    This is not a grant of market access for the Sentinels 1A spacecraft.
 *




 4. Operations, shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection
    from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station(s). USN shall
    cease transmission(s) immediately upon notice of such interference and report the
    interference to the FCC point of contact Paul.Blais@fee.gov, 202—418—7274 within 24
    hours of occurrence.
 5. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the
    Commission may make regarding pending or future USN applications. .
 6. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is
    solely at USN‘s risk.
 7. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on
    delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, and is effective immediately.

                                    Exhibit C
            PETITION FOR WAIVER OF SECTION 25.137 AND 25.114 AND OF
                  THE U.S. TABLE OF FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS

1.      TO THE EXTENT THEY APPLY, GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR A WAIVER OF
        CERTAIN PORTIONS OF SECTIONS 25.137 AND 25.114

       Universal Space Network, Inc. (USN) is provided limited legal and technical information
for the Sentinels—1A Satellite.‘ Pursuant to Section 25.137 of the Federal Communications
Commission‘s ("Commission" or "FCC") rules, the same technical information required by
Section 25.114 for U.S.—licensed space station, and certain legal information, must be submitted
by earth station applicants "requesting authority to operate with a non—U.S. licensed space station
to serve the United States..."" USN seeks authority to support the ranging campaign of
Sentinels—1 A , not commercial service to the United States, and thus believes that Section 25.137
does not apply.

        To the extent the Commission determines, however, that USN‘s request for authority to
provide a ranging campaign on a special temporary basis is a request to serve the United States
with a non—U.S—licensed satellite, USN respectfully requests a waiver of Sections 25.137 and
25.114 of the Commission‘s rules, to the extent that USN has not herein provided the
information required by these rules. * The Commission may grant a waiver for good cause
shown.* A waiver is therefore appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the
general rule, and such a deviation will serve the public interest.

        In this case, good cause for a waiver of portions of Section 25.114 exists. USN seeks
authority only to conduct a ranging campaign for Sentinels—1A . Thus, any information sought
by Section 25.114 that is not relevant to the ranging — e.g., antenna patterns, energy and
propulsion and orbital debris — USN does not have. In addition, USN would not easily be able to
obtain such information because USN is not the operator of the Sentinels—1A satellite, nor is
USN in contractual privity with that operator. Rather, USN has contracted with Swedish Space
Corporation, Solona Sweden (SSC) to support the ranging portion in S—Band of the Sentinels—1A
satellite in preparation of the Sentinels—2A satellite being launch in May 2015.

         As evidenced by the Comsearch report attached to this request, USN has coordinated the
test of the Sentinels—1 A satellite with potentially affected terrestrial operators. Moreover, as
with any STA, USN will conduct the test on an unprotected, non—interference basis to
government operations.


‘ FCC Form 312 Section B

247 C.FR. § 25.137(a)

347 CFR. §§25.137 and 25.114

447 C.F.R. §1.3


Because it is not relevant to the service for which USN seeks authorization, and because
obtaining the information would be a hardship, USN seeks a waiver of all the technical and legal
information required by Section 25.114, to the extent it is not provided herein. As noted above,
USN has provided the required information to the extent that it is relevant to the ranging service
for which USN seeks authorization.

        Good cause also exists to waive portions of Section 25.137, to the extent the information
required is not herein provided. Section 25.137 is designed to ensure that "U.S.—licensed satellite
systems have effective competitive opportunities to provide analogous services" in other
countries. Here, there is no service being provided by the satellite; USN is providing TT&C
while the satellite is on the way to it‘s low earth orbit. Thus, the purpose of the information
required by Section 25.137 is not implicated here. For example, Section 25.137(d) requires earth
station applicants requesting authority to operate with a non—U.S.—licensed space station that is
not in orbit and operating to post a bond. ° The underlying purpose in having to post a bond —
i.e., to prevent warehousing of orbital locations by operators seeking to serve the United States —
would not be served by requiring USN to post a bond in order to conduct the 7 days of LEOP
support of the Sentinels—1 A satellite.

        It is USN‘s understanding that Sentinels—1A is licensed by ESA (European Space
Agency). Sentinels—1A is the first of the series spacecraft meant to serve the EU. Thus, the
purpose of Section 25.137 — to ensure that U.S. satellite operators enjoy "effective competitive
opportunities" to serve foreign markets and to prevent warehousing of orbital locations service
the United States — will not be undermined by grant of this waiver request.

        Finally, USN notes that it expects to communicate with the Sentinels—1A satellite using
its U.S. earth station for a period of 60 days. Requiring USN to obtain technical and legal
information from an unrelated party, where there is no risk of interference and the operation will
cease within 60 days would pose undue hardship without serving underlying policy objectives.
Given these particular facts, the waiver sought herein is appropriate.




547 C.F.R. §25.137(d)(4)


    II.     GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR A WAIVER OF THE UNITED STATES
            TABLE OF FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS

        USN further requests a waiver of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations
("U.S. Table") as described in section 2.106 of the rules for the frequency bands 2025 — 2110
MHz (Earth—to—Space) and 2200 — 2290 MHz (Space—to—Earth).© Section footnotes allow for
non—federal Government use of these bands in the United States on a case—by—case non—
interference basis. Such use by USN necessitates a waiver of the U.S. Table.

        Good cause exists to grant USN a limited waiver of the U.S. Table to allow the ranging
support of the Sentinels—1A satellite. In considering request for case—by—case spectrum uses, the
Commission has indicated that is would generally grant such waivers "where there is little
potential for interference into any service authorized under the Table of Frequency Allocations
and when the case—by—case operator accepts any interference from authorized services." " USN
will coordinate with other parties operating communication systems in compliance with the
Table of Frequency Allocations to ensure that no harmful interference is caused. USN seeks to
operate only pursuant to special temporary authorization and thus agrees to accept any
interference from authorized services. In summary, USN‘s operation on a non—interference, non—
protected basis support waiver of the U.S. Table.
