Gogo Looks to Add Astra 4A to ESAA Network

Gogo wants to tie as many as 200 earth stations aboard aircraft (ESAA) to the Astra 4A satellite. In an FCC International Bureau filing Friday, Gogo asked for special temporary authority (STA) to let it start service to a new fleet customer by using Astra 4A. The company said it's working on an application to modify its ESAA license to add new satellites. It also said it would use Astra 4A capacity to provide coverage in Europe.
