       As part of its application for special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate the
ST5000-2.4 terminal in the C- and Ku-band for sea trials onboard a foreign-flagged ship,
the Carnival Valor, Harris CapRock certifies in the following section and associated
appendices that when the terminal is operating in the C-band, it will comply with the
relevant requirements of Section 25.221 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.221:


(a)(1)(i)(A-C): Comply. (See Exhibit A, Annex 1.)


(a)(1)(ii): The ST5000-2.4 uses the same positioner technology and algorithms used by
previously authorized SpaceTrack ESV terminals, and Harris CapRock certifies that the
terminal will maintain a pointing error of less than or equal to 0.2° between the orbital
location of the target satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the ESV antenna. (See
Exhibit A, Annex 4.)


(a)(1)(iii): In addition to the foregoing, the ST5000-2.4 uses the same automated antenna
control and transmit mute functionalities used by previously authorized SpaceTrack ESV
terminals, and Harris CapRock certifies that all emissions from the ESV will
automatically cease within 100 ms if the angle between the orbital location of the target
satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the ESV antenna exceeds 0.5°, and transmission
will not resume until such angle is less than or equal to 0.2. (See Exhibit A, Annex 5.)


(a)(2): Not applicable.


(a)(3): Not applicable.


(a)(4): Comply. The primary contact for Harris CapRock ESV operational issues is the
Harris CapRock Network Control Center, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week:

(a)(5): Comply. Harris CapRock has designed a system to record the vessel's location,
transmit frequency, channel bandwidth and satellite. The system records this information
every 20 minutes; this data will be stored locally and will be uploaded to Harris
CapRock’s Network Management System (NMS) on a regular basis. Harris CapRock
can make this data available within 24 hours of a request by a coordinator, fixed system
operator, fixed-satellite system operator, NTIA, or the Commission.


(a)(6): Comply. In the event Harris CapRock must communicate with vessels of foreign
registry, it will maintain detailed information on each vessel as well as a point of contact
for the relevant administration responsible for licensing the ESV.


(a)(7): Comply. The proposed ESV terminal operated by Harris CapRock will be
controlled by various hub earth stations located in the United States and licensed to
Harris CapRock.


(a)(8): Comply. Harris CapRock certifies that it will not seek to coordinate, in any
geographic location, more than 36 MHz of uplink bandwidth on each of no more than
two GSO FSS satellites when transmitting in the 5.925-6.425 GHz band.


(a)(9): Comply. Harris CapRock certifies it will not operate ESVs in the 5.925-6.425
GHz and 3.700-4.200 GHz bands on vessels smaller than 300 gross tons.

band ESV terminal operations in this application.


(a)(11): Comply. When operating ESVs in motion, Harris CapRock will not claim
protection from harmful interference from any authorized terrestrial stations or lawfully
operating satellites to which frequencies are either already assigned, or may be assigned
in the future in the 3.700-4.200 GHz band.


(a)(12):   Comply.     Harris CapRock has completed final coordination of C-band
frequencies at Port Canaveral, Florida (see Exhibit C). Furthermore, Harris CapRock has
completed preliminary route coordination with affected U.S.-licensed fixed service
facilities in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, where transmission
muting will be implemented to avoid potential interference (see Exhibit B). Harris
CapRock will file the final coordination report, which will be identical in substance to the
interim report, as soon as it becomes available.


(a)(13): Comply.


(b)(1)(i)(A-C): Comply. (See Exhibit A, Annex 1.)


(b)(1)(ii): Comply. Harris CapRock acknowledges that the ST5000-2.4 antenna does not
meet the Commission’s Section 25.209 gain pattern for Ku-band operations.
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.132(b)(3) of the Commission’s rules, Harris
CapRock hereby submits range test plots of the antenna gain patterns in both C-band and
Ku-band. (See Exhibit A, Annex 2.)


(b)(1)(iii): Harris CapRock certifies that the terminal will maintain a pointing error of less
than or equal to 0.2° between the orbital location of the target satellite and the axis of the
main lobe of the ESV antenna and that that all emissions will automatically cease within
100 ms if the angle between the orbital location of the target satellite and the axis of the
main lobe of the ESV antenna exceeds 0.5°. (See Exhibit A, Annexes 4 & 5.)


(b)(2): Not Applicable.


(b)(3): Not Applicable.


(b)(4): Comply. (See Exhibit B – Area of Operations.)


(b)(5): Comply. (Also note discussion of 25.221(a)(4).)


(b)(6): Comply. (See Exhibit A, Annex 3.)
