Article I - Scope
This Coordination Arrangement between the Taipei Economic and
Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO) and
the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) provides a framework by
which TECRO, through its designated representative, the National
Space Organization (NSPO) of Taiwan, can receive technical
guidelines from and coordinate with AIT, through its designated
representative, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), regarding NSPO's FORMOSAT-3 satellite
system, to prevent unacceptable interference to the missions of
AIT's designated representative, NASA, inclusive of the NASA
FAST, GALEX, HESSI, ICESAT, SAMPEX, SWAS, TIMED, TRACE, and
GLORY satellite systems, from NSPO's FORMOSAT-3 satellite
system, from transmissions during normal operations of the
FORMOSAT-3 satellite system and during "special uplink
operations" performed by TECRO's designated representative,
NSPO, for the FORMOSAT-3 satellite system.

Article II - Objectives
The broad objective of this Coordination Arrangement is to
establish a framework to allow TECRO, through its designated
representative, NSPO, to receive technical guidelines from and
coordinate with AIT, through its designated representative,
NASA, regarding NSPO's FORMOSAT-3 satellite system. The
technical objectives of this Coordination Arrangement are:
A.To provide technical guidelines regarding "special uplink
operations" performed by TECRO's designated representative,
NSPO, for the FORMOSAT-3 satellite system; and
B.To provide technical guidelines that will prevent unacceptable
interference to the missions of AIT's designated
representative, NASA.

Article III - Parameters
The FORMOSAT-3 satellite system of TECRO's designated
representative, NSPO, is the third of six non-geostationary
satellites in circular orbit with an altitude of 750 kilometers
and 72 degrees inclination. The FORMOSAT-3 satellite system has
downlinks in the 2213 - 2215 megahertz (MHz) band and uplinks in
the 2039.468 - 2039.532 MHz band. Attachment 1 to this
Coordination Arrangement contains the Advance Publication
Information contained in the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU) Ap4/V Forms for the FORMOSAT-3 satellite system. Any
limitations on operations of the FORMOSAT-3 satellite system of
TECRO's designated representative, NSPO, established in this
Coordination Arrangement take precedence over those contained in
Attachment 1. The earth station transmit antenna gains and
locations of TECRO's designated representative, NSPO, are
specified in Table 3-1. There are potential interference impacts
in both the uplink and downlink directions with each of the
satellite systems of AIT's designated representative, NASA,
listed in Article I of this Coordination Arrangement.

Article IV - Normal FORMOSAT-3 Operations
TECRO, through its designated representative, NSPO, will ensure
that the conditions specified under Paragraphs IV.1 and IV.2,
below, will be met during normal operations of the FORMOSAT-3
satellite system, in order to ensure that the uplinks and
downlinks of the FORMOSAT-3 satellite system will not exceed the
ITU-Radiocommunication (ITU-R) Recommendation SA. 609-1 criteria
and, thus, no unacceptable interference will occur to the
satellite systems of AIT's designated representative, NASA:

IV.1 - Uplink
Uplink transmissions from each of the earth stations of TECRO's
designated representative, NSPO, will begin when the elevation
angle from the earth station to the FORMOSAT-3 satellite is
greater than or equal to 10 degrees, and the transmissions to
the FORMOSAT-3 satellite will last for a maximum of three
minutes for each pass of the FORMOSAT-3 satellite. Exceptions to
this mode of operation are detailed in Article V.
The maximum uplink transmitted spectral power density for the
earth stations of TECRO's designated representative, NSPO, will
not exceed the values specified in Table 4.1-1.

IV.2 - Downlink
Downlink transmissions from the FORMOSAT-3 satellite of TECRO's
designated representative, NSPO, will begin when the elevation
angle from the earth station to the FORMOSAT-3 satellite is
greater than or equal to 10 degrees; and the transmissions from
the FORMOSAT-3 satellite will last for a maximum of four minutes
for each pass of the FORMOSAT-3 satellite.
The downlink emission parameters of the FORMOSAT-3 satellite
network of TECRO's designated representative, NSPO, will be in
accordance with the values specified in the Advance Publication
Information contained in Attachment 1. In accordance with
Attachment 1, the maximum transmitted spectral power density of
the FORMOSAT-3 satellite network will be -63.6 dBW/Hz; and the
maximum transmit antenna gain will be 3.4 dBi.

Article V - FORMOSAT-3 "Special Uplink Operations"
There will be certain situations when the uplinks to the
FORMOSAT-3 satellite of TECRO's designated representative, NSPO,
will need to operate for longer than the three minutes for each
pass of the FORMOSAT-3 satellite, as specified in Article IV.1.
These occurrences will be rare, approximately once or twice per
year, and will be for the purpose of uploading Global
Positioning System (GPS) data to the FORMOSAT-3 satellite and
will be performed using only the North Pole and Kiruna earth
stations. It is anticipated that these uplinks will last for a
period of about one day during these operations. TECRO, through
its designated representative, NSPO, will inform AIT, through
its designated representative, NASA, of the details of these
uplinks at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled time for
the uplinks. AIT, through its designated representative, NASA,
will contact TECRO, through its designated representative, NSPO,
within at least five working days if there are any potential
interference concerns with these uplinks. In the case that there
are interference concerns, both TECRO, through its designated
representative, NSPO, and AIT, through its designated
representative, NASA, will, before such uplink operations take
place, further coordinate these operations in order to avoid, if
possible, any harmful interference to the satellite systems of
AIT's designated representative, NASA.

Article VI - Choice of Law
The federal law applicable in the territory of the authorities
represented by AIT governs this Coordination Arrangement for all
purposes, including, but not limited to, determining the
validity of the Coordination Arrangement, the meaning of its
provisions, and the rights, obligations and remedies of the
Parties.

Article VII - Financial Arrangements
The Parties and their designated representatives will each bear
the costs of discharging their respective responsibilities.
Further, it is understood that the ability of the Parties and
their designated representatives to carry out their obligations
is subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Article VIII - Intellectual Property Rights and Transfer of
Goods and Technical Data
