POLICY This NPD sets forth NASA policy, authorities, and responsibilities for obtaining approvalfor the use of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum for any NASA mission, project, orother activity requiring the use of the EM spectrum for transmission, reception, or both. It is NASA policy that: a

3、 All missions, programs, projects, and other activities, requiring use of the EMspectrum, shall discuss spectrum considerations at each review in the project life cycle(Applicable Document 4.f) and submit a request for spectrum certification as early in theacquisition and procurement cycles as poss

4、ible to its Center Spectrum Manager (SM). b. Funds shall not be obligated for formal engineering (as determined by the CenterDirector), development and testing, or procurement of operational EM-radiating orreceiving devices until the spectrum certification is approved by the NationalTelecommunicatio

5、ns and Information Administration (NTIA) and the approval is providedto the appropriate program office and Center/Facility SM. c. Cost estimates and economic alternatives for the development or procurement ofmajor communications-electronics systems shall be submitted to NTIA as part of therequest fo

6、r spectrum certification in accordance with national policy (Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11). d. NASA use of the EM spectrum shall be as efficient as practical to meet NASA missionrequirements by the design and use of advanced spectrum- efficient technologies (e.g.,software-defin

Non-Federal entities placed in control of NASA tr

12、ansmitters operating in Federalbands (e.g., 2200-2290 MHz) shall have sufficient contractual constraints to ensurethose transmissions are operated in accordance with NASA direction. j. Absent specific authorization otherwise, non-Federal entities using Federal spectrumshall only use that spectrum fo

13、r NASA requirements. k. No frequency assignments for NASA space missions shall be approved for deviceswhich are designed or intended to transmit in exclusive passive radio frequency (RF)bands allocated, either nationally or internationally, to the radio astronomy service, theEarth exploration- satel

14、lite service (passive), or the space research service (passive). l. Frequency selection for NASA missions requiring use of 2025-2110 MHz or 2200-2290MHz shall be made by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) SM in working with therespective mission Centers SM. m. Frequency selection for NASA deep s

15、pace missions shall be made by the JetPropulsion Laboratory (JPL) SM in working with the respective mission Centers SM. n. Frequency selection and protection requirements for all NASA human spaceflight shallbe coordinated with the Johnson Space Center SM. 2. APPLICABILITY This NPD is applicable to N
