  • Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Request1
    Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Request — Page 1 AMATEUR SATELLITE FREQUENCY COORDINATION REQUEST1 1. Amateur-satellite service. Amateur stations meet the requirements of the radio regulations2, RR 1.56. and 1.57. RR 1.56 amateur service: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self- training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that is, by duly authorized [licensed] persons [individual natural people] interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim [for themselves] and without pecuniary interest [compensation]. (NOTE: Explanatory terms in brackets are not part of the treaty text.) RR 1.57 amateur-satellite service: A radiocommunication service using space stations on earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the amateur service. Before asking for help from IARU with frequency coordination in the amateur-satellite service, make sure that your proposed operation meets the treaty requirements. NOTE: “Without pecuniary interest” means that you may accept free will donations of goods and services, that is, with nothing required in return. You may not sell services or data to anyone for any reason. Ultimately, the decision of whether the proposed operation is appropriate for the amateur- satellite service rests with your country’s administration (your national telecommunication regulator). Therefore, before sending your frequency coordination request to IARU, we suggest that you consult with your administration to determine whether the amateur-satellite service or another radiocommunication service is appropriate for your operation. 2. Self coordination. For over 100 years, amateur radio operators have maintained an effective tradition of self-regulation. Amateurs are expected to coordinate their use of frequencies.

Der erste Teil dieser Arbeit versucht kurz den Weg Chinas zu seiner aktuellen Lage zu skizzieren. Die wichtigsten Entwicklungsschritte in Wirtschaft, Militär und Umwelt werden aufgezeigt um ein besseres Verständnis der Realität zu ermöglichen. Nach einer kurzen Analyse der aktuellen Situation werden die chinesischen Entwicklungspläne untersucht. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf dem elften chinesischen Fünf-Jahres Plan, dem elften chinesischen Entwicklungsplan für Weltraum sowie dem Langzeit Entwicklungsplan für Wissenschaft und Technik.
