(SES Government Solutions) is granted extension of STA for 180 days to operate a fixed satellite earth station with two 1.8 meter GD/Prodelin model GDST- 1 .8M antennas located at a facility in Bristow, Virginia ( 38 deg 47' 0.25" N.L./077 deg 34' 24.5" W.L.) to communicate with 03b's in-orbit NGSO FSS satellite system, licensed by the United Kingdom, in the: 17.852-18.068GHz, 18.112-18.328GHz, 18.372-18.588GHz, 18.801- 19.017 GHz, 19.055-19.271GHz (space-to-Earth), and 27.652-27.868GHz, 27.912-28.128GHz, 28.172-28.388GHz, 28.601-28.817GHz, 28.855-29.071GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands under the following conditions: This STA is limited to testing, satellite monitoring, and non-commercial demonstrations purpose. SES Government Solutions may not provide any commercial service under this STA. 2. Coordinated emission carriers will be 1MOOG7D and 216MG7D. The total input power at the antenna flange for all carriers must not exceed 40 Watts and total output eirp for all carriers must not exceed 68.8 dBW. The associated maximum eirp per carrier for 1MOOG7D is 48.6 dBW and for 216MG7D is 68.8 dBW. The associated maximum eirp density per carrier for 1MOOG7D is 24.6 dBW/4kHz and for 216MG7D is 38.8 dBW/4kHz. 3. Operations in the 17.8-18.3 GHz band does not conform to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R §2.106, but is being granted only at this location for the limited purposes of demonstrating the 03b system's capabilities to potential government customers and that grant of this STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding authorizations for government or commercial fixed satellite service in the 17.8-18.3 GHz band within the U.S. 4.

Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC-specified safety guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the reflector. Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the antennas' power flux-density levels exceed the specified guidelines.

7. This authorization does not constitute grant of Market Access for 03B's NOSO FSS system. 8. Operations under this authority are on a non-interference basis only. 9. Operations under this authority are on a non-protected basis only. 10. The power flux-density at the Earth's surface produced by emissions from 03b's NGSO FSS system for all methods of modulation shall not exceed the levels established in 47 C.F.R. § 25.308(c), (e) and Article 21 of the ITU Radio Regulations. 11. The operations of the 03b NGSO FSS satellite system must not exceed the EPFD limits in Nos. 22.5C, 22.5D, and 22.5F of the ITU Radio Regulations. 12. 03b satellite transmissions must be conducted in accordance with the coordination agreement between 03b and U.S. government systems signed on January 17, 2013 with the Department of Defense. 13. Transmissions authorized herein must comply with coordination agreements reached between the United Kingdom and other Administrations, including all coordination agreements reached between the United Kingdom and the United States. 14. In the event that there is a report of interference, SES Government Solutions must immediately terminate transmissions and notifi the FCC in writing. 15.
