SHARING IN THE 8 025-8 400 MHz FREQUENCY BAND BETWEEN THE EARTH EXPLORATION-SATELLITE SERVICE AND THE FIXED, FIXED-SATELLITE, METEOROLOGICAL-SATELLITE AND MOBILE SERVICES IN REGIONS 1, 2 AND 3
Lunar and planetary and other stations will be implemented in the 37-38 GHz and 40-40.5 GHz bands allocated to the space research service on primary basis worldwide. These systems will be used infer alia for high-rate digital data transfer of telemetry, voice, and video between the Earth and other planetary bodies such as the Moon and Mars to support manned exploration. Further, the 37-38 GHz band will be used for high-rate data transfer from an Earth-orbiting S-VLBI station. The digital data transfer will enable operations such as infomation management for the safe conduct of human exploration missions, coordination and status of planned activities, updating of data files, and relay of scientific data. Data rates on the order of 100 Mbit/s from planetary ranges, 500 Mbit/s from lunar range and 1 000 Mbit/s from S-VLBI station to Earth will be implemented.
