                                       Description
        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 with the GeoEye—1 space
station (Call Sign $2348) using its earth station license operating under Call Sign
E120040 in Rock Springs, Wyoming.l See File No. SES—STA—20150120—00014, as
extended in File Nos. SES—STA—20150326—00180 and SES—STA—20150602—00316. The
existing STA ex%ires on August 8, 2015, and DG Consents requests an extension through
October 7. a 201 5.

        With this request, DG Consents seeks to expand the scope of its existing STA.
The initial request for STA sought authority to communicate with GeoEye—1 to perform
essential testing and integration of services associated with DigitalGlobe‘s Direct Access
Program. DG Consents requests that this testing authority continue and, in addition, now
seeks expanded STA to permit communications with GeoEye—1 for the purposes of
receiving satellite telemetry, uploading tasking information and downlinking imaging
data. The frequencies to be used for these additional tasks will be identical to those
currently authorized under the existing STA, and DigitalGlobe agrees to continue to
operate on a special temporary basis subject to the conditions included with the initial
STA grant. Grant of this request will serve the public interest by allowing DigitalGlobe
to conduct expanded operations using GeoEye—1, pending Commission action on the
application to add GeoEye—1 as a new Point of Communication.

        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 through
October 7, 2015.




‘ DG Consents is a wholly owned subsidiary of DigitalGlobe, Inc. ("DigitalGlobe").

* DG Consents has filed a request to add GeoEye—1 as a Point of Communication to the
Wyoming earth station authorization, thereby making communications with the satellite a
permanent component of the license. See File No. SES—MOD—20140717—00604, as
amended by File No. SES—AMD—20140725—00620. That request was accepted for filing
on August 6, 2014, see Public Notice, Report No. SES—01670, and remains pending
before the Commission.
