Exhibit A Spire Global, Inc. Response to Question 12 Request for Special Temporary Authority Spire Global, Inc. ("Spire") hereby requests special temporary authority ("STA") for 60 days,‘ beginning April 8, 2016, to commence operations of the earth stations identified in Attachment 1 to this éxhibit, consistent with the technical parameters specified in the associated, pending applications for regular authority." The applications for regular or permanent authority to operate the earth stations cannot be processed and granted prior to the deployment of the nine LEMUR satellites that are aboard the Atlas V (Cygnus) vehicle that was launched on March 22, 2016.° Accordingly, an STA is necessary for Spire to communicate with those satellites, including for in—orbit testing and transmission of telemetry, tracking, and command signals. The Commuission has previously found that the grant of earth station STAs to communicate with satellites, pending the processing of permanent applications, serves the public interest, convenience, and necessity by allowing for the deployment of new and additional satellite services in a timely manner.* For these same reasons, the FCC should grant this STA allowing Spire to bring into service the nine LEMUR satellites in a timely manner.‘ ! See 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3). See Attachment 1 (identifying the applicable IBFS file number for each earth station application for regular authority). Spire is contemporaneously submitting separate STA applications for each earth station. To the extent necessary, Spire incorporates by reference the waivers requested in the associated earth station applications for regular authority. ‘ See Stamp Grant, Spire Global, Inc., SAT—LOA—20151123—00078 (granted Mar. 18, 2016). * See, eg., Stamp Grant, DG Consents Sub, Inc., SES—STA—20140717—00605 (granted Aug. 12, 2014); Stamp Grant, EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation, SES—STA—20130108—00019 (granted Jan. 10, 2013); Stamp Grant, Inmarsat Hawaii Inc., SES—STA—20080311—00275 (granted Apr. 4, 2008). * Spire understands that its authorized operations will be on an unprotected, non—harmful interference basis.
