                  Description of Request for Special Temporary Authority



      Planet Labs Inc. (“Planet”) hereby requests special temporary authority (“STA”) to
operate a proposed “UHF” earth station located in Morehead, Kentucky, for 60 days,
beginning April 22, 2017. The earth station is currently authorized with call sign E140040
with a pending modification application (“Application”), file number SES-MOD-
20170407-00446.

      The proposed earth station will transmit at 450.0 MHz, and receive at 401.3 MHz.
with Flock satellites, a constellation of non-geostationary orbit (“NGSO”) Earth
Exploration Satellite Service (“EESS”) imaging satellites, call sign S29121.

       The referenced Application requests modification of its earth station located in
Morehead, KY (Call Sign E140040) to increase the number of antennas authorized under
the license from one to three, to relocate the site approximately 20 miles north to the
Morehead State University Browning Orchard, and to increase the output power of the
transmitter centered at 450.0 MHz.

       It is understood the referenced Application is pending final review which is
currently suspended due to a technical issue with processing within the Commission. In
the interim, Planet respectfully requests temporary authority to proceed with the
modification and operation of the earth station pursuant to the technical parameters
described in the Application until such time the technical issues can be resolved and
processing of the Application completed.
