5.460A The use of the frequency band 7 190-7 250 MHz (Earth-to-space) by the Earth exploration-satellite service shall be limited to tracking, telemetry and command for the operation of spacecraft. Space stations operating in the Earth exploration-satellite service (Earth-to-space) in the frequency band 7 190-7 250 MHz shall not claim protection from existing and future stations in the fixed and mobile services, and No. 5.43A does not apply. No. 9.17 applies. Additionally, to ensure protection of the existing and future deployment of fixed and mobile services, the location of earth stations supporting spacecraft in the Earth exploration-satellite service in non-geostationary orbits or geostationary orbit shall maintain a separation distance of at least 10 km and 50 km, respectively, from the respective border(s) of neighbouring countries, unless a shorter distance is otherwise agreed between the corresponding administrations. (WRC 15)
5.460B Space stations on the geostationary orbit operating in the Earth exploration-satellite service (Earth-to-space) in the frequency band 7 190-7 235 MHz shall not claim protection from existing and future stations of the space research service, and No. 5.43A does not apply. (WRC 15)
G134   In the band 7190-7235 MHz, Federal earth stations operating in the meteorological-satellite service (Earth-to-space) may be authorized subject to the following conditions:

  (a) Earth stations are limited to those communicating with the Department of Commerce Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES).

  (b) There shall not be more than five earth stations authorized at one time.

  (c) The GOES satellite receiver shall not claim protection from existing and future stations in the fixed service (ITU Radio Regulation No. 5.43A does not apply).
US262 The band 7145-7190 MHz is also allocated to the space research service (deep space) (Earth-to-space) on a secondary basis for non-Federal use. Federal and non-Federal use of the bands 7145-7190 MHz and 34.2-34.7 GHz by the space research service (deep space) (Earth-to-space) and of the band 31.8-32.3 GHz by the space research service (deep space) (space-to-Earth) is limited to Goldstone, CA (35° 20' N, 116° 53' W).

Unlicensed Level Probing Radars

Proposed Use 5925–7250 MHz

The FCC has released a Notice of Proposed Rule Making that would allow downward-pointing, unlicensed level probing radars, for use both in tanks and outdoors, at 5.925-7.250, 24.05-29, and 75-85 GHz.

Proposed EIRP boresight emissions limits are:

5.925-7.250 GHz: -33 dBm/MHz average and +7 dBm across 50 MHz.
24.05-29 GHz: -14 dBm/MHz average and +26 dBm across 50 MHz
75-85 GHz: -3 dBm/MHz average and +34 dBm across 50 MHz

Proposed average emissions limits to the sides and upward are:

5.925-7.250 GHz: -55 dBm/MHz
24.05-29 GHz: -41.3 dBm/MHz
75-85 GHz: -41.3 dBm/MHz

Wideband Systems under 15.250

Current Use 5925–7250 MHz Wideband systems (FCC part 15.250)

Part 15 of the FCC's rules accommodates operation of wideband systems in this band. The -10 dB bandwidth of the systems must be at least 50 MHz, but must be fully contained within 5925-7250 MHz. Average power of the devices is limited to -41.3 dBm. Peak power can be as high as 0 dBm across 50 MHz, which makes the band suitable for devices that generate a wideband signal by emitting a train of short pulses. Devices under this rule section may not be operated aboard aircraft or satellites.

NASA Deep Space Network (DSN)

Current Use 7190–7235 MHz DSN X-Band Uplink (to spacecraft less than 2 million km from Earth)

According to NASA:

"The NASA Deep Space Network - or DSN - is an international network of antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and radio and radar astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe. The network also supports selected Earth-orbiting missions.

"The DSN currently consists of three deep-space communications facilities placed approximately 120 degrees apart around the world: at Goldstone, in California's Mojave Desert; near Madrid, Spain; and near Canberra, Australia. This strategic placement permits constant observation of spacecraft as the Earth rotates, and helps to make the DSN the largest and most sensitive scientific telecommunications system in the world."
