(3) 1.6/2.4 GHz MSS: 1610-1626.5 MHz and 2483.5-2500 MHz;
(4) 2 GHz MSS: 2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz;
(5) GSO FSS: 10.7-12.2 GHz, 14-14.5 GHz, 18.3-18.8 GHz, 19.7-20.2 GHz, 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-30 GHz, 40-42 GHz, and 48.2-50.2 GHz;
(6) NGSO FSS: 10.7-12.7 GHz, 14-14.5 GHz, 17.8-18.6 GHz, 18.8-19.4 GHz, 19.6-20.2 GHz, 28.35-29.1 GHz, 29.5-30 GHz, 40-42 GHz, and 48.2-50.2 GHz; and
(7) GSO and NGSO MSS: 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz.
(b) An application for a satellite system license described in paragraph (a) must contain:
(1) The information required by § 25.114 or, for a non-U.S.-licensed space station, § 25.137 ;
(2) A certification that earth station operations under the satellite system license will comply with part 1, subpart I and part 17 of this chapter; and
(3) Any additional information required under this part, including under § 25.115 , for operation of the blanket-licensed earth stations that is not duplicative or unnecessary due to the information provided for the space station operation.
