                                                                            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 exhibit, 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

 Commission 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.
