                                    Exhibit C
            PETITION FOR WAIVER OF SECTION 25.137 AND 25.114 AND OF
                  THE U.S. TABLE OF FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS

I.       TO THE EXTENT THEY APPLY, GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR A WAIVER OF
         CERTAIN PORTIONS OF SECTIONS 25.137 AND 25.114

       Universal Space Network, Inc. (USN) is provided limited legal and technical information
for the SPACEIL Lunar surface landing mission satellite.1 Pursuant to Section 25.137 of the
Federal Communications Commission’s (“Commission” or “FCC”) rules, the same technical
information required by Section 25.114 for U.S.-licensed space station, and certain legal
information, must be submitted by earth station applicants “requesting authority to operate with a
                                                             “2
non-U.S. licensed space station to serve the United States..    USN seeks authority to support
the needed Telemetry, Tracking, and Control (“TT&C”) during launch and early orbit support
(“LEOP”) and Lunar support of the SPACEIL spacecraft from launch to Lunar surface landing,
not commercial service to the United States, and thus believes that Section 25.137 does not
apply.

        To the extent the Commission determines, however, that USN’s request for authority to
provide LEOP on a special temporary basis is a request to serve the United States with a non-
U.S-licensed satellite, USN respectfully requests a waiver of Sections 25.137 and 25.114 of the
Commission’s rules, to the extent that USN has not herein provided the information required by
these rules. The Commission may grant a waiver for good cause shown.4 A waiver is therefore
appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule, and such a
deviation will serve the public interest.

        In this case, good cause for a waiver of portions of Section 25.114 exists. USN seeks
authority only to conduct LEO? and Lunar support for SPACEIL. Thus, any information sought
by Section 25.114 that is not relevant to the LEO? e.g., antenna patterns, energy and
                                                   —




propulsion and orbital debris USN does not have. In addition, USN would not easily be able to
                                -



obtain such information because USN is not the operator of the SPACEIL satellite, nor is USN in
contractual privity with that operator. Rather, USN has contracted with Swedish Space
Corporation, Solona Sweden (SSC) to support the Launch and Early Orbit (LEOP) and Lunar
support in S-Band during the mission.

       As evidenced by the Comsearch report attached to this request, USN has coordinated the
LEO? of the SPACEIL satellite with potentially affected terrestrial operators. Moreover, as with
any STA, USN will conduct the LEOP on an unprotected, non-interference basis to government
operations.


 ‘FCC form 312 Section B
247
      C.F.R. § 25.137(a)

347 C.F.R. §25.137 and 25.114

 447 C.F.R. §1.3


Because it is not relevant to the service for which USN seeks authorization, and because
obtaining the information would be a hardship, USN seeks a waiver of all the technical and legal
information required by Section 25.114, to the extent it is not provided herein. As noted above,
USN has provided the required information to the extent that it is relevant to the LEOP service
for which USN seeks authorization.

        Good cause also exists to waive portions of Section 25.137, to the extent the information
required is not herein provided. Section 25.137 is designed to ensure that “U.S.-licensed satellite
systems have effective competitive opportunities to provide analogous services” in other
countries. Here, there is no service being provided by the satellite; USN is providing TT&C
while the satellite is on the way to Lunar landing. Thus, the purpose of the information required
by Section 25.137 is not implicated here. for example, Section 25.137(d) requires earth station
applicants requesting authority to operate with a non-U.S.-licensed space station that is not in
orbit and operating to post a bond. The underlying purpose in having to post a bond i.e., to
                                                                                       —




prevent warehousing of orbital locations by operators seeking to serve the United States would
                                                                                           —




not be served by requiring USN to post a bond in order to conduct 63 days of support of the
SPACEIL satellite.

        It is USN’s understanding that SPACEIL is licensed by the state of Israel. SPACEIL is a
mission inspired by the Google Lunar XPRIZE and is sponsored for educational purposes of
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Thus, the purpose of Section
25.137 —to ensure that U.S. satellite operators enjoy “effective competitive opportunities” to
serve foreign markets and to prevent warehousing of orbital locations service the United States  —




will not be undermined by grant of this waiver request.

       finally, USN notes that it expects to communicate with the SPACEIL satellite using its
U.S. earth station for a period of 63 days. Requiring USN to obtain technical and legal
information from an unrelated party, where there is no risk of interference and the operation will
cease within 63 days would pose undue hardship without serving underlying policy objectives.
Given these particular facts, the waiver sought herein is appropriate.




547 C.FR. §25.137(d)(4)


      II.    GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR A WAIVER OF THE UNITED STATES
             TABLE OF FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS

        USN further requests a waiver of the United States Table of frequency Allocations
(“U.S. Table”) as described in section 2.106 of the rules for the frequency bands 2025 —2110
MHz (Earth-to-Space) and 2200 2290 MHz (Space-to-Earth).6 Section footnotes allow for
                                  —




non-federal Government use of these bands in the United States on a case-by-case non
interference basis. Such use by USN necessitates a waiver of the U.S. Table.

        Good cause exists to grant USN a limited waiver of the U.S. Table to allow LEOP of the
SPACEIL satellite. In considering request for case-by-case spectrum uses, the Commission has
indicated that is would generally grant such waivers “where there is little potential for
interference into any service authorized under the Table of Frequency Allocations and when the
case-by-case operator accepts any interference from authorized services.” USN will coordinate
with other parties operating communication systems in compliance with the Table of frequency
Allocations to ensure that no harmful interference is caused. U$N seeks to operate only pursuant
to special temporary authorization and thus agrees to accept any interference from authorized
services. In summary, USN’s operation on a non-interference, non-protected basis support
waiver of the U.S. Table.

LEOP support of SpacelL lunar mission from USN’s
Hawaiian ground station
Originally inspired by the Google Lunar XPRIZE, SpacelL will softly land a
spacecraft on the lunar surface for a period of time and relay high resolution
photos to Earth. SpacelL is a non-profit organization founded in Israel to inspire
young people to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
                                                                               18th,
The mission will launch on a SpaceX Falcon-9 from Florida on December
2018 at 16:30 UTC as a secondary payload. USN has been contracted to
support the mission from USN’s Hawaiian ground station from orbital injection
thru visibility of spacecraft on the lunar surface for a total nominal mission time of
about 63 days.

The mission phases consist of initial Earth orbit for a period of 30 days, followed
by a lunar transfer maneuver lasting 6.5 days, followed by Lunar orbit for
approximately 20 days mapping the magnetic field, then a Lunar landing in
February 2019 for a period of up to 6 days. USN will support the spacecraft
during all phases for a period of approximately 63 days depending mission
successful operations. The spacecraft operates on the following S-band
frequencies.

Lunar Transfer Orbit

The SpacelL lander contains its own booster propulsion system as this is
required to softly land on the Moon, as such this booster will also be used to
conduct an orbital maneuver burn to place the spacecraft into a heliocentric
Lunar transfer orbit. This burn is scheduled to complete at 18 Jan 2019 17:33:25
UTC. The spacecraft traverses towards the Moon for approximately 6.5 days and
will then conduct a Lunar orbit injection burn and enter Lunar orbit at 25 Jan 2019
00:13:25 UTC.

The transfer orbit is defined by the STK state vector file:
SIL-OO-LunarTransferOrbit.e




Lunar Transfer Orbit

Hawaii will conduct pass supports for a nominal 30 minute duration every 4 hours
of available visibility. Visibility from Hawaii ranges from 10 to 11 hours each day
during this phase of the mission. The potential USN Hawaii supports are shown
below.

Lunar Surface Support
USN-Hawaii will support the spacecraft when in view of the Lunar landing
location for the duration of the mission as scheduled for periods of 40 minutes
duration. Lunar surface support is expect to not exceed 6 days.

Flux Density impinging on the ground in Hawaii from SpacelL

The Flux density is calculated as:

    flux density = EIRP ÷ (4 it Rse2)
      Where Rse is the distance from spacecraft to the ground?
      Where EIRP is the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power of the spacecraft?


The spacecraft has two mission antennas, Low Gain omni (LGTA), and High
Gain directional (HGTA). The LGTA will be used exclusively in Earth orbit and
has an EIRP of 2.1 dBW. The HGTA has an EIRP of 12.66 dBW and will be
deployed at a time the spacecraft is about one third of the way to the moon
during the lunar orbit transfer. For worse case analysis the LGTA will have a
minimum altitude over Hawaii of 500 Km, and the HGTA will have a minimum
altitude of 150,000 Km.

Earth Orbit LGTA:
Converting 2.1 dBW to scalar watts           =   1 .622 watts transmitted at 2280.0 MHz

Therefor:
     Flux density   =    1.622 ÷ (4   it *   500,000 meters2)

Flux density   =   5.163 x 1013 Wattslmeter2
Or
Flux density   =   5.136 x J0 mWIcm2


Lunar Transfer, Lunar Orbit, and Lunar Surface HGTA:
Converting 12.66 dBWto scalar watts = 18.450 watts transmitted at 2280.0 MHz

The refor:
     flux density    =   18.45 ÷ (4 it   *   150,000,000 meters2)

Flux density   =   6.525 x 1017 Watts/meter2
Or
Flux density   =   6.525 x 1018 mWIcm2

1. CONCLUSIONS



An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment.
Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations.

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS


A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective
on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS
TN1OI (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal
levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.
