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. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 05/29/2018 Page 3 of 11

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 TN1O1 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 05/29/2018 Page 4 of 11

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 Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A), meteorological and communications Satellite.’ 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 non-U.S. licensed space station to serve the United States.. “2 USN seeks authority to support the needed Telemetry, Tracking, and Control (“TT&C”) during the LEOP orbit raising support of the Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) spacecraft from launch to geosynchronous parking orbit, 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 orbit raising 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 LEOP orbit raising support for Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A). Thus, any information sought by Section 25.114 that is not relevant to the LEOP 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 Geo-Kompsat 2A (GK-2A) satellites, nor is USN in contractual privity with that operator. Rather, USN has contracted with Swedish Space Corporation, Solona Sweden (SSC) to support the orbit raising LEOP portion in S-Band of the satellite prior to its operation. As evidenced by the Comsearch report attached to this request, USN has coordinated the LEOP of the Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) satellites 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 2 47 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 it’s operational orbit. 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 5 days of LEOP support of the Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) satellites. It is U SN’s understanding that Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) is licensed by KARl (Korean Aerospace Research Institute). Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) is the first of two meteorological and communications spacecraft series to support South Korea. 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 Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) satellite using its U.S. earth station for a period of 5 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 5 days would pose undue hardship without serving underlying policy objectives. Given these particular facts, the waiver sought herein is appropriate. 547 C.F.R. §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 Govetiiment 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 Geo-Kompsat-2A (GK-2A) satellites. 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. USN 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. 647 C.F.R. §2.106 Previously approved STA’s for Universal Space Network SES-STA-20020725-01 174; SES-STA-20021 112- 02008; SES-STA-200403 15-00475

Launch and Early Orbit (LEOP) support for the KARl Geo-Kompsat-2A spacecraft from USN’s Hawaiian ground station KARl (Korean Aerospace Research Institute) in South Korea will launch 2 geosynchronous spacecraft Geo-Kompsat 2A and 2B (aka GK-2A and GK-2B) in late 2018 and early 2019 for communications and meteorology support. USN will support both launches in the LEOP phase to final orbit parking. GK-2A is scheduled to launch on December 4th at 20:45:00 GMT on an Ariane launch vehicle from Kourou in French Guiana. The LEOP support from Hawaii will be conducted for a maximum period of 5 days. GK-2A showing 5 orbital maneuver burns The spacecraft is directly injected into a highly elliptical orbit with apogee near GEO altitude with visible passes from 45 minutes to 8 hours long. In the following 5 days five orbital maneuvers are conducted to circularize the orbit and park the spacecraft over South Korea. Maneuver #5 and post burn satellite position are no longer visible from Hawaii. All possible visibilities are shown for each maneuver below, but note that all visibilities will not be supported.

Flux Density impinging on the ground in Hawaii from Geo-KOMPSAT-2A 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? Data from the spacecraft vendor indicates that the nominal EIRP of GK-2A spacecraft is -4.0 dEW. Due to the highly elliptical orbit the spacecraft will pass near Hawaii at an altitude of 400 Km during the perigee of pass #3 shown above and thus the maximum flux density will be received during that pass. The smallest slant range to USN Hawaii is = 450 Km. Converting -4.0 dEW to scalar watts = 0.398 watts transmitted at 2283.2 MHz Therefor: flux density = 0.398 ÷ (4 it * 450,000 meters2) Flux density = 1.564 x 1 0-13 Wattslmeter2 Or Flux density = 1.564 x 10-14 mWIcm2 4 of 4
