earth exploration‑satellite service:
          (a) means a radiocommunication service (that may include links between space stations) between earth stations and one or more space stations:
              (i) by which information relating to the characteristics of the Earth and its natural phenomena is obtained from active or passive sensors on Earth satellites; and
              (ii) by which similar information is collected from airborne or Earth‑based platforms; and
              (iii) by which the information may be distributed to earth stations participating in the service; and
 (iv) by which platform interrogation may be carried out; and
          (b) includes any feeder link necessary for the operation of the service.
emergency position‑indicating radiobeacon station means a station in the mobile service the emissions of which are intended to assist search and rescue operations.
experimental station means a station (except an amateur station) that uses radio waves in experiments for the development of science or technique.
feeder link means a radio link:
          (a) that involves an earth station at a particular fixed point, or at a fixed point within a particular area; and
          (b) that is for the use of a space radiocommunication service other than a fixed‑satellite service; and
          (c) that is:
              (i) from an earth station of the kind mentioned in paragraph (a) to a space station; or
              (ii) from a space station to an earth station of the kind mentioned in paragraph (a).
fixed‑satellite service means a radiocommunication service, including any feeder link that is necessary for the operation of another space radiocommunication service, with the following characteristics:
          (a) the service is between earth stations at particular fixed points, or at fixed points within particular areas;
          (b) the service uses:
 (i) one or more satellites; and
              (ii) a satellite‑to‑satellite link (if any) that may use the inter‑satellite service.
fixed service means a radiocommunication service between particular fixed points.
frequency band includes part of a frequency band that is specified in column 2 of the Table.
frequency channel means a sub‑band that:
          (a) is in a frequency band; and
          (b) has a particular centre frequency.
harmful interference means interference that:
          (a) endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or other safety services that are operating in accordance with:
              (i) the Radio Regulations; or
              (ii) this Spectrum Plan; or
          (b) obstructs, repeatedly interrupts or seriously degrades a radiocommunication service that is operating in accordance with:
              (i) the Radio Regulations; or
              (ii) this Spectrum Plan.
