Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We are deploying two CubeSats off of the International Space Station. These two CubeSats have deployed panels that will cause the CubeSats to deorbit in five months, maximum. Given the guidelines, the STA was recommended for missions lasting less than six months. Since our CubeSats will last less than this amount of time, we are filing an STA.
