  • and AstroVision's Application. AstroVision in its analysis, in the case of earth station co-location, assumes the following: (1) the transmit EIRP for an NGSO EESS system is 26.4 dB; (2) the altitude of an NGSO EESS satellite is 814.79 Km; (3) no cross-polarization isolation; and (4) no antenna pointing losses. Id. at 6. AstroVision Reply at 6. See, e.g., Section 25.274 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.274. Remote sensing systems are intended to operate in the EESS allocation. EESS is defined as ``[a] radiocommunication service between earth stations and one or more space stations, which may include links between space stations in which: (1) information relating to the characteristics of the Earth and its natural phenomena is obtained from active

  • those listed in Section 25.113(b). Then, Section 25.113(b) lists all possible cases, thereby mooting Section 25.113(a). We propose simplifying Section 25.113 to state explicitly that prior authorization for construction is not required. We do not anticipate that this revision will have any substantive change, but rather will merely clarify current requirements. D. Satellite Control Responsibilities to Resolve Harmful Interference Section 25.274 sets forth procedures for resolving harmful interference. In cases where an earth station receives interference, and determines that the source is not a terrestrial operator or another earth station communicating with the satellite system with which it is communicating, Section 25.274(c) directs the earth station operator to contact the control center of the satellite system. Section 25.274(g) states that "a
