Special Temporary Authority

Universal Space Network, Inc. is granted a special temporary authority from February 14,
2018 to March 4, 2018, to operate its earth station at 19.0°, 00°, 50.3"N/ 155°, 39.0°
46.6" W, located in Naalehu, Hawaii, to provide post— launch and early orbit phase
(LEOP) operations of the Galileo (GSAT215, GSAT216, GSAT217 and GSAT218)
NGSO satellites as they proceed to medium earth orbit on the following center
frequencies: 2046.051 MHz, 2051.703 MHz, 2057.355 MHz and 2040.399 MHz (Earth—
to—space), and 2215.818 MHz, 2221.956 MHz, 2228.094 MHz and 2234.232 MHz
(space—to—Earth). The Galileo satellites is licensed by European Space Agency (ESA).

1. Universal Space Network, Inc. must coordinate with the Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), Mr. James Moneyhon, (540)653—3477, or
james.moneyhon@navy.mil, a minimum of 14—days prior to any operations in the region
centered at 22N, 160W, with a radius of 1500 nautical miles (nm), to mitigate harmful
interference to Navy/Marine Corps/DoD operations. USN/Galileo—9 must also comply
with any and all restrictions that may be levied by the Naval Surface Warfare Center,
Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD).

2. All operations on frequencies 2215.818 MHz, 2221.956 MHz, 2228.094 MHz, and
2234.232 MHz shall be on an unprotected, non—interference basis to Air Force operations.
In the event of any harmful interference, cease operations and inform the Commission, in
writing, immediately.

3. This special temporary authority can only be used to provide launch and early orbit
phase ("LEOP‘) services for the GALILEO (GSAT215, GSAT216, GSAT217 and
GSAT218) spacecraft from launch to medium earth orbit, not commercial service to the
United States.

4. Operations shall be on an unprotected, non—interference basis with respect to other
authorized stations, including federal stations.

5. This is not a grant of market access to the Galileo system.

6. Ary future requests or extensions will need to submit applications to the FCC to be re—
coordinated with NTIA.

7. Universal Space Network (USN) will inform NTIA (bmitchell@ntia.doc.gov, 202—482—
4487 and the FCC (Paul. Blais@fec.gov, 202—418—7274) at least 24 hours prior to the
planned operations or if delayed beyond the requested beginning date of 24 May 2016

8. The USN control contact number, (808) 929—8069, must be available while frequencies
2215.818 MHz, 2221.956 MHz, 2228.094 MHz, and 2234.232 MHz are being used.

       Reference: SES—STA—20171031—01225

       Dear Paul,
       The referenced STA was granted to support the Galileo orbit raising campaign from the Universal Space Network
       Hawaiian ground station beginning January 18, 2018 thru February 14, 2018. The orbit raising has been delayed
       and addition orbital mancuvers are now required by ESA. Universal Space Network is submitting this additional
       STA to request authorization to support from January 25, 2018 thru March 4, 2018.

       If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 21 5—394—0127 or jgreet@uspacenet.com
