Sec. 25.273 Duties regarding space communications transmissions.
(a) No person shall:
(1) Transmit to a satellite unless the specific transmission is first
authorized by the satellite network control center;
(2) Conduct transmissions over a transponder unless the operator is
authorized by the satellite licensee or the satellite licensee's successor
in interest to transmit at that time; or
(3) Transmit in any manner that causes unacceptable interference to the
authorized transmission of another licensee.
(b) Satellite operators shall provide upon request by the Commission and by
earth station licensees authorized to transmit on their satellites relevant
information needed to avoid unacceptable interference to other users,
including the polarization angles for proper illumination of a given
transponder.
(c) Space station licensees are responsible for maintaining complete and
accurate technical details of current and planned transmissions over their
satellites, and shall require that authorized users of transponders on their
satellites, whether by tariff or contract, provide any necessary technical
information in this regard including that required by Sec. 25.272. Based on this
information, space station licensees shall exchange among themselves general
technical information concerning current and planned transmission parameters
as needed to identify and promptly resolve any potential cases of
unacceptable interference between their satellite systems.
(d) Space stations authorized after May 10, 1993 which do not satisfy the
requirements of Sec. 25.210 may be required to accept greater constraints in
resolving interference problems than complying ones. The extent of these
constraints shall be determined on a case-by-case basis.
