Hi Drew,
As Art has stated, the authority having jurisdiction, is the National one -
in this case the FCC. As your link shows, they have decided to licence this
spacecraft on 145.825MHz but to operate in the "Experimental" service not ,
our, "Amateur Satellite Service". Of course we have a "primary" ITU
allocation on this frequency but this is not an "exclusive" one.

Am I reading this right? A commercial s/c operating on 145.825???? This is
the camels nose under the tent, using our own packet network for automated
telemetry?
I can understand the uni cubesats on UHF, butthis is OUR primary allocation.
We really need to protest this vehemently if they were approved.
