# 25.282 Orbit raising maneuvers.

A space station authorized to operate in the geostationary satellite orbit under this part is also authorized to transmit in connection with short-term, transitory maneuvers directly related to post-launch, orbit-raising maneuvers, provided that the following conditions are met:

(a) Authority is limited to those tracking, telemetry, and control frequencies in which the space station is authorized to operate once it reaches its assigned geostationary orbital location;

(b) The space station operator will coordinate on an operator-to-operator basis with any potentially affected satellite networks.

(c) The space station licensee is required to accept interference from any lawfully operating satellite network or radio communication system.
