                     Description of Operations and Public Interest Statement

       Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin®") hereby requests replacement special
temporary authority ("STA") on an expedited, emergency basis to operate its Carpentersville,
New Jersey C/Ku—band fixed earth station (FCC Call Sign E7541) to provide telemetry, tracking
and control ("TT&C") functions during the post—launch and early orbit phases ("LEOP") of
operation for the ABS—3A satellite. Authority for almost identical operation was previously
granted to Lockheed Martin under FCC File Nos. SES—STA—20150108—00005 (30—day interim
STA) and SES—STA—20150108—00004 (180—day long—term STA); however, different frequencies
than authorized in those two STAs are now required for the ABS—3A LEOP operation.

       ABS—3A is a Boeing Model 7028P satellite using all—electric propulsion and licensed by
Papua New Guinea for operation at the 3° West Longitude orbital location (3° W.L.). It was
launched on March 1, 2015 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral,
Florida, making the need for immediate LEOP authority acute.‘ Accordingly, Lockheed Martin
will need to begin transmissions no later than this Saturday, March 7, 2015, well before this
request for new 180—day authority can be placed on FCC Public Notice and made subject to the
statutory 30—day public comment period under the FCC‘s Rules and the Communications Act of
1934, as amended." While Lockheed Martin respectfully requests that this request be placed on
Public Notice at the earliest possible date, it is also filing concurrently a request for an interim
30—day STA for these same operations to allow testing and LEOP operations to commence on a
timely basis in advance of grant of the longer term authority requested. This was the same
approach employed in connection with the previously granted STAs.

        1.       Requested STA Operations

        Lockheed Martin specifically seeks authority to transmit telecommand signals at the
center frequencies 6420 MHz and 6425 MHz for in transit communications (in lieu of the
frequencies 6020 MHz and 6025 MHz, which were previously granted), and to receive telemetry
signals from the satellite on the 4194.5 MHz and 4197 MHz frequencies. Additional technical
parameters for the STA operation are set forth in the table that is the final page of this attachment
and in the Comsearch Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report ("Comsearch
Report") that is also attached to this request. Lockheed Martin is requesting STA for a total of
one—hundred and eighty (180) days commencing no later than March 7, 2015. As previously

‘ See William Harwood, "SpaceX Rocket Boosts 2 Satellites toward Orbit," CBS News, posted March 2,
2015 ("The ABS 3A satellite was released from the Falcon 9 second stage a half hour after launch"),
available at http://www.cbsnews.com/news/spacex—flight—features—money—saving—satellite—boosting—tech/
(last visited 3/03/2015).
* As detailed below, the nature of these operations requires at least 180 days of operational authority. See
47 U.S.C. §309(c)(2)(G) (non—broadcast special temporary authorizations limited to thirty days where no
application for regular operation is contemplated unless public notice is provided under Section 309(b) of
the Act); 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(2).


                                                                       Lockheed Martin Corporation
                                                                                       March 2015
                                                                                        Attachment
                                                                                         Page 2 of 4

acknowledged, this duration is significantly longer than has been typical for satellite LEOP
operations because the satellite employs an all—electric propulsion system. An all—electric
satellite allows a much lighter payload, as heavy chemical fuel tanks are not required. The trade—
off, however, is that it takes a matter of months, rather than a few weeks, for an all—electric
satellite to reach its final, on—orbit operating position." Given this lengthy period for LEOP
maneuvers, Lockheed Martin anticipates thatit will require an additional STA to extend
operations beyond the initial 180—day period.*

        Lockheed Martin‘s proposed transmissions will use total input power and emissions for
telecommand as stated in the Comsearch Report. When no commands are being sent, a CW
carrier that is within the emission of Lockheed Martin‘s E7541 operation would be present, as
provided for in its license. The authority requested in this application is very similar to that
previously granted to Lockheed Martin to perform LEOP services on several previous occasions
within the past two years," and almost identical to the previously—granted STAs under FCC File
Nos. SES—STA—20150108—00005 and SES—STA—20150108—00004. A radiation hazard study with
respect non—ionizing radiation for the antenna at higher power operation was part of Lockheed
Martin‘s original application for this facility under FCC File No. SES—LIC—20081103—01443, and
that report is hereby incorporated by reference.

        All of Lockheed Martin‘s proposed TT&C operations in support of the ABS—3A launch
will be on a strictly non—harmful interference, non—protected basis as the requested transmit
frequencies do not fall fully within Lockheed Martin‘s current C—band authority for the
Carpentersville site. Lockheed Martin designates Michael Usarzewicz to be the contact person
that will be available whenever transmission to, or reception from, ABS—3A is to occur through
the subject earth station. Mr. Usarzewicz can be reached at the following cell phone number:
(609)—865—2658 and/or station number: (908) §59—4050.

        2. Grant of the Requested Authority Will Serve the Public Interest

     Lockheed Martin believes that the operations it proposes in support of the launch of the
ABS—3A satellite are required in furtherance of the public interest. Operations have been
coordinated with all potentially affected entities that operate communications systems in
compliance with the Table of Frequency Allocations, and a copy of the coordination report is
attached to this application. ABS—3A will be located in geostationary orbit at 3° W.L. providing
C— and Ku—band capacity to connect the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Three
C—band beams will cover the Americas, the Middle East and Africa along with a global beam,
and four Ku—band beams will cover Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. The
satellite will support VSAT services, TV distribution, IP trunking, cellular backhaul and
maritime services.

        Lockheed Martin‘s Carpentersville earth station will be part of a global network of
control facilities that will be used to position the satellite as it progresses from transfer orbit over
a period of months to its final location." The safe and orderly use of the entire geostationary
orbital resource and protection of the hundreds of satellites licensed by the U.S. and other
countries that operate there depends in no small part on ensuring that the ABS—3A satellite is
controlled while over North America; Lockheed Martin‘s earth station thus will serve a vital
function.




        As outlined above, Lockheed Martin requests authority to operate its Carpentersville, NJ
C—band earth station antenna to provide critical TT&C services during the launch and early
operations phase of the ABS—3A satellite, for a term of 180 days commencing no later than

       Re: Request of Lockheed Martin Corporation for Special Temporary Authority
           ECC File No. SES—STA—20150304—00111); Section 1.65 Statement

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        This letter is submitted to update the record concerning the above—referenced application
for special temporary authority ("STA") filed by Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed
Martin®). In its application, Lockheed Martin requested that the FCC grant it authority to use its
Carpentersville, New Jersey earth station for a period of 180—days, commencing on March 7,
2015, to provide support for the launch and early orbit phase operations ("LEOP") of the ABS—
3A satellite. Lockheed Martin acknowledged, however, that this date was earlier than could be
granted under the Communications Act and the FCC‘s rules that govern temporary authority of
this duration. See 47 U.S.C. §309(c)(2)(G) and 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(2). For this reason, it filed
contemporaneously an interim 30—day STA request. See FCC File No. SES—STA—20150304—
00110. This shorter term STA could be granted quickly in order to meet the near—term
requirements for the ABS—3 LEOP operations.

       The 30—day STA was granted effective March 7, 2015 for a term ending April 6, 2015.
The pending 180—day application was also quickly placed on FCC Public Notice on March 11,
2015. See FCC Public Notice, Report No. SES—01730, at 3 (released 3/11/2015). The result of
this timing is that the earliest possible grant date for the long—term STA, 30—days after Public
Notice, would be next Monday, April 13, 2015, one week after expiration of the initial STA
term. Accordingly, on March 26, 2015, Lockheed Martin filed a request for an additional 30—day
STA (see FCC File No. SES—STA—20150326—00183), which was promptly granted on April 2,
2015 for a term beginning April 7, 2015 and ending May 6, 2015.

            Ms. Marlene H. Dortch
            April 10, 2015
            Page —2—


       Inasmuch as Lockheed Martin has now been granted an STA to provide support for the
ABS—3A LEOP mission through May 6, 2015, it wishes to update the requested date of
commencement of the STA sought in this proceeding to coincide with the expiration of the
current 30—day STA. Therefore, Lockheed Martin respectfully requests that the STA originally
requested to commence on March 7, 2015 instead be made effective as of May 7, 2015 for a
period ending on November 4, 2015. Grant of this request will serve the public interest by
minimizing the number of STA grants required in order to complete the ABS—3A LEOP mission,
thereby promoting private sector efficiency and conserving the resources if the FCC‘s Satellite
Division processing staff, which receives many STA requests. Because it is currently anticipated
that the ABS—3A LEOP operations will be completed by November 4, 2015, granting an STA
with that termination date would likely minimize the need for submission of additional STA
requests.

        Should there be any questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned
counsel.


                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                                 ofDavidS. KHeis
