Myriota Seeks OK for Up to 36 NVNG MSS Constellation

Myriota wants to amend its pending petition for U.S. market access (see 1911190002) to increase the planned number of non-voice non-geostationary (NVNG) mobile satellite service (MSS) satellites operating in the VHF band from 26 to 36. In an FCC International Bureau application Monday, Myriota said the amendment would also cover its use of Spire's CubeSat platform, which includes active propulsion capabilities, for those satellites. The company also asked to modify its U.S. market access grant to provide NVNG MSS service in the 399.9-400.05 MHz and 400.15-401 MHz bands to reflect such changes.
