SAT-MOD-20190802-00070 E S3032 BlackSky Global, LLC Date Filed: 08/02/2019 14:12:55:61300 Modification BlackSky Global LLC requests modification of its authority to construct, deploy, and operate a non-geostationary orbit Earth Exploration Satellite Service constellation to include 12 additional satellites (Global-5 through Global-16), increasing its constellation to sixteen satellites. BlackSky also requests authority to construct, launch, and operate replacement satellites for Global-1 through Global-16 throughout its license term within the orbital parameters previously authorized for Global-1 through Global-4, and amended by the current application, provided that BlackSky would not have in service more than 16 satellites in operation at any one time. BlackSky proposes to operate these satellites at orbital altitudes ranging from 385 km to 600 km and with inclinations ranging from 35 degrees to 60 degrees. BlackSky requests authority to operate in the 2025-2100 MHz frequency band (Earth-to-space) and 8025-8400 MHz (space-to-Earth) frequency bands, as well as the 400.15-401 MHz (space-to-Earth), 401-402 MHz (space-to-Earth) and 449.75-450.25 MHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands, including for telemetry, tracking, and control, and emergency backup purposes. BlackSky additionally requests to receive GPS signals in the 1575.42 MHz frequency band. BlackSky requests waivers of Sections 25.156, 25.157, 25.158 and 25.217(b), and to the extent necessary, Section 25.114(c) of the Commission's rules.

SAT-LOA-20161115-00118 and SAT-LOA-20170726-00110, as modified by IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20181108-00083). Specifically, SpaceX to seeks to modify the lower shell of its constellation at 550 km to: (1) increase the number of orbital planes from 24 to 72; (2) decrease the number of satellites per orbital plane from 66 to 22; and (3) make related changes to the deployment and operations of the satellites in these orbital planes. SpaceX also provides updated analyses that address the interaction between its system as modified and other licensed systems. SpaceX requests waivers, to the extent necessary, of various limitations in the Commission's Schedule S software, in connection with this request.
