12. Description Lockheed Martin Corporation hereby requests Special Temporary Authority beginning August 29, 2017, to operate its Carpentersville, New Jersey fixed earth station (Call Sign E7541) to provide telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) functions during the LEOP phase of operation for the Amazonas 5 satellite. Specifically, authority is sought to transmit telecommand signals on the 13999.5 and 14499.5 MHz center frequencies for in trangit telecommand communications (Earth—to— space), and to receive telemetry signals from the satellite (space—to—Earth) at the center frequencies 11701.0 and 12202.25 MHz.

Lockheed Martin Corporation Call Sign E7541 Earth Station STA Attachment Page 1 of 3 Description of Operations and Public Interest Statement Pursuant to 47 CFR 25.120 of the Commission‘s Rules, Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin®") hereby requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for a period of thirty (30) days to operate its Carpentersville, New Jersey fixed earth station (Call Sign E7541) to provide telemetry, tracking, and control ("TT&C") functions during the post—launch and early orbit phases ("LEOP") of operation for the Amazonas 5 satellite. Amazonas 5 is destined for in—service operation at 61.0° W.L., and is currently scheduled for launch on August 31, 2017, aboard a Proton M rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (LC— 31). Accordingly, Lockheed Martin requests to begin test transmissions on August 29, 2017 in preparation for the launch.‘ Further, Lockheed Martin is requesting that the duration of this STA be a total of thirty (30) days to cover any slippage in the anticipated dates of the various phases of operation; it nonetheless expects that all Carpentersville operations in support of the launch will be completed within fourteen (14) days after the Amazonas 5 satellite is launched 1. Requested STA Operations Lockheed Martin specifically seeks authority to transmit telecommand signals on the 13999.5 and 14499.5 MHz center frequencies for in transit telecommand communications (Earth—to—space), and to receive telemetry signals from the satellite (space—to—Earth) at the center frequencies 11701.0 and 12202.25 MHz. The proposed TT&C operations in support of the Amazonas 5 launch will be on a strictly non—harmful interference, non—protected basis. Lockheed Martin‘s proposed transmissions will use total input power and emissions for Ku—band telecommand that will fall below the highest input power, EIRP, EIRP density, and bandwidth prescribed for the telecommand carriers in its above—referenced FCC license. When no commands are being sent, a CW carrier that is within the emission of the licensed operation would be present. However, in the case of an anomaly, extraordinary measures, such as increasing power, may be necessary; if such measures are required during this STA period, Lockheed Martin will notify the FCC within seven (7) business days that such measures were needed. Lockheed Martin incorporates by reference the radiation hazard study and Schedule B information that were included with its most recent filings at the FCC. ‘ The proposed test transmissions would occur over a period of approximately two to three days. During these tests, the earth station would not be communicating with any satellite; instead, the transmissions will be made with the antenna at zenith to verify RF functionality.

Lockheed Martin Corporation Call Sign E7541 Earth Station STA Attachment Page 2 of 3 In order to demonstrate compliance with FCC Report and Order 96—377 regarding operations in the extended Ku—band, Lockheed Martin submits herewith an analysis that states that the proposed operations pose no risk of interference either to U.S. Navy shipboard radar operations or to NASA TDRSS links. Lockheed Martin designates Michael Usarzewicz to be the contact person that will be available whenever transmission to Amazonas 5 is to occur through the subject earth station. Mr. Usarzewicz can be reached at the following phone numbers: (609) 865—2658 (cellular) (908) 859—4050 (earth station desk) 2. Grant of the Requested Authority Will Serve the Public Interest Lockheed Martin believes that the limited operations it proposes in support of the launch of the Amazonas 5 satellite serve the public interest. Lockheed Martin understands that the Amazonas 5 satellite has been licensed by the Brazilian administration to Hispamar Satélites S.A. (ITU Designation B—SAT—Q) to provide broadband, television, corporate network and other telecommunications services over Mexico, Central America and South America. Lockheed Martin‘s Carpentersville earth station will be part of a global network of control and ranging facilities that will be used solely to position the satellite as it progresses from transfer orbit to its final location and to calibrate electric propulsion. No end user service will be provided within the United States at any time. The safe and orderly use of the entire geostationary orbital resource and protection of the hundreds of satellites licensed by the U.S. and other countries that operate there depends in no small part on ensuring that the Amazonas 5 satellite is controlled while over North America en route to its final geostationary orbital position. In this regard, Lockheed Martin‘s earth station thus will serve a vital function. Lockheed Martin requests authority to operate its Carpentersville, NJ earth station antenna to provide critical TT&C and ranging services during the LEOP mission of the Amazonas 5 satellite, for a term of 30 days, commencing August 29, 2017.

Exhibit For Lockheed Martin Corporation Carpentersville, New Jersey TIW 14.2 Meter Earth Station Call Sign E7541 Compliance with FCC Report & Order (FCC9I6—377) for the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz Band Analysis and Calculations 1. Background This Exhibit is presented to demonstrate the extent to which the Lockheed Martin Corporation satellite earth station, which is operated in Carpentersville, New Jersey, is in compliance with FCC REPORT & ORDER 96—377. The potential interference from the earth station to US Navy shipboard radiolocation operations (RADAR) and the NASA space research activities in the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz Band is addressed in this exhibit. The parameters for the earth station are: Table 1. Earth Station Characteristics e Coordinates (NAD83): 40°38° 39.1" N, 75° 11° 27.8" W Satellite Location for Earth Station: 129° W (SES—15) Frequency Band: 13.75—14.0 GHz for uplink Polarizations: Circular and Linear Emissions: 1M0O0F2D 400KFXD Modulation: Digital Maximum Aggregate Uplink EIRP: 83.0 dBW for the 1 MHz Carriers 83.0 dBW for the 400 kHz Carriers Transmit Antenna Characteristics Antenna Size: 14.2 meters in Diameter Antenna Type/Model: TIW Systems Gain: 63.5 dBi RF power into Antenna Flange: 1 MHz 19.1 dBW or —4.9 dBW/4 kHz (Maximum)

400 kHz 19.1 dBW or —0.9 dBW/4 kHz (Maximum) * Minimum Elevation Angles: Carpentersville, NJ. 18.4° @ 244.5° Az. (SES—15) at 129.0° W e Side Lobe Antenna Gain: 32 — 25*lo0g(0) Because the above uplink spectrum is shared with the Federal Government, coordination in this band requires resolution data pertaining to potential interference between the earth station and both Navy Department and NASA systems. Potential interference from the earth station could impact with the Navy and/or NASA systems in two areas. These areas are noted in FCC Report and Order 96—377 dated September 1996, and consist of (1) Radiolocation and radio navigation, (2) Data Relay Satellites. Summary of Coordination Issues: 1) Potential Impact to Government Radiolocation (Shipboard Radar) 2) Potential Impact to NASA Data Relay Satellite Systems (TDRSS) 2. Potential Impact to Government Radiolocation (Shipboard Radar) Radiolocation operations (RADAR) may occur anywhere in the 13.4 — 14 GHz frequency band aboard ocean going United States Navy ships. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) order 96—377 allocates the top 250 MHz of this 600 MHz band to the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) on a co—primary basis with the radiolocation operations and provides for an interference protection level of —167 dBW/m*/4 kHz. The closest distance to the shoreline from the Carpentersville earth station is approximately 82.0 km Southeast toward the Atlantic Ocean. The calculation of the power spectral density at this distance is given by: 1 MHz 400 kHz 1. Clear Sky EIRP: 83.0 dBW 83.0 dBW 2. Carrier Bandwidth: 1 MHz 400.0 kHz 3. PD at antenna input: —4.9 —0.9 dBW/4 kHz 4. Transmit Antenna Gain: 63.9 dBi 5. Antenna Gain Horizon: FCC Reference Pattern 6. Antenna Elevation Angles: 18.4°

The proposed earth station will radiate interference toward the Chesapeake Bay according to its off—axis side—lobe performance. A conservative analysis, using FCC standard reference pattern, results in off—axis antenna gains of —10.0 dBi towards the Atlantic Ocean. The signal density at the shoreline, through free space is: 1MHz Carriers PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off—Axis Gain (dBi) — Spread Loss (dBw—m*). —4.9 dBw/4 kHz + (—10.0) dBi — 10*log[4I*(82000m)‘] —124.1 dBW/m"/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~64 dB) —188.1 dBW/m*/4 kHz 1 400 kHz Carriers PFD = A;‘ntenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off—Axis Gain (dBi) — Spread Loss (dBw—m*). = —0.9 dBw/4 kHz + (—10.0) dBi — 10*log[41*(82000m]‘] —120.1 dBW/m*/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~64 dB) —184.1 dBW/m*/4 kHz Our calculations show additional path loss of approximately 64 dB including absorption loss and earth diffraction loss for the actual path profiles from the proposed earth station to the nearest shoreline. The calculated PFD including additional path losses to the closest shoreline location is —184.1 dBW/m*/4 kHz. This is 17.1 dB below the —167 dBW/m2/4 kHz interference criteria of R&O 96—377. Therefore, there should be no interference to the US Navy RADAR from the Carpentersville earth station due to the distance and the terrain blockage between the site and the shore. 3. Potential Impact to NASA‘s Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) The geographic location of the Lockheed Martin earth station in Carpenterville, New Jersey is outside the 390 km radius coordination contour surrounding NASA‘s White Sands, New Mexico ground station complex. Therefore, the TDRSS space—to—earth link will not be impacted by the Lockheed Martin earth station in Carpentersville, New Jersey.

The TDRSS space—to—space link in the 13.772 to 13.778 GHz band is assumed to be protected if an earth station produces an EIRP less than 71 dBW/6 MHz in this band. The 14.2 meter earth station antenna will have an EIRP greater than 71 dBW/6 MHz for both the 1 MHz and 400 kHz carriers in this band. Therefore, the Carpentersville, New Jersey earth station may not be tuned to operate on frequencies in the 13.772 to 13.778 GHz band. 4. Coordination Issue Result Summary and Conclusions The results of the analysis and calculations performed in this exhibit indicate that compatible operations between the earth station at the Carpentersville facility and the US Navy and NASA systems space—to—earth link. The Carpentersville facility will not transmit in the NASA systems space—to—space link (13772.0 to 13778.0 MHz) therefore avoiding conflict with this system.
