                                      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 S2348) using its earth station license operating under Call Sign
E120040 in Rock Springs, Wyoming. 1 See File No. SES-STA-20150120-00014, as
extended in File Nos. SES-STA-20150326-00180, SES-STA-20150602-00316 and SES-
STA-20150804-00510. The existing STA expires on October 7, 2015, and DG Consents
requests an extension through December 6, 2015.

        The requirement to communicate with GeoEye-1 will continue past the October 7
expiration of the existing STA, thereby necessitating this request to extend the STA for
an additional 60 days. 2 DigitalGlobe agrees to operate on a special temporary basis
subject to the conditions included with the initial STA grant, as modified by subsequent
extension requests. Grant of this request will serve the public interest by allowing
DigitalGlobe to continue to communicate with 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
December 6, 2015.

    DG Consents is a wholly owned subsidiary of DigitalGlobe, Inc. (“DigitalGlobe”).
2
  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.
