                     Request For Special Temporary Authority
United Teleports requests earth station temporary authority (“STA”) for a period of 180 days
beginning on or about April 15, 2018, to support SES Americom, Inc (“SES”) in the
communication with ASTRA 1D spacecraft in order to provide Tracking, Telemetry and
Command (“TT&C”).

SES was previously granted an STA for TT&C operation of ASTRA 1D under SES‐STA‐20170323‐
00336 on Call Sign E050287. The operations proposed with United Teleports 7 meter Ku‐band
antenna will be identical to the authorization granted for SES for TT&C with ASTRA 1D. United
Teleports is not requesting U.S. market access or any other authorization from the Commission
in relation to the non‐U.S.‐licensed ASTRA 1D spacecraft, and therefore is not providing full
technical information about the ASTRA 1D satellite as part of this application.

Grant of this request is in the public interest as the requested TT&C authority will facilitate the
safe operation of ASTRA 1D.

Requested waiver of Sections 25.137, 25.114 and 25.210(j) in this STA request are consistent
with the waivers requested by the SES STA grant SES‐STA‐20170323‐00336 on Call Sign
E050287. United Teleports is not seeking authority to communicate with ASTRA 1D for
purposes of providing U.S. service within the meaning of 25.137.

The STA request will be limited to TT&C operations on ASTRA 1D with this 7 meter earth station
antenna.
