Washington, DC 20554 Re: SpaceX Services, Inc. —Requestfor Special Temporary Authority Dear Ms. Dortch: SpaceX Services, Inc. ("SpaceX Services") has filed six applications seeking Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate its gateway earth stations for up to 60 days to communicate with the first tranche ofnon—geostationary orbit satellites to be launched by its sister company, Space Exploration Holdings, LLC ("SpaceX").‘ SpaceX Services currently has underlying applications pending for six Ku—band gateway earth station sites. It has recently amended those applications to increase the number of antennas at each site from oneto four. This is to clarify that SpaceX Services requests STAsthat reflect the underlying gateway applications as amended, such that SpaceX Services would be authorized to operate all four antennas at each site with the technical characteristics set forth in the associated pending applications, as amended. For ease ofreference, the table below correlates the IBFS file numbers for the pending earth station and STA applications.
