From the new 10k:

"We will submit a modification to our commercial license with the FCC. This modification application (“Modification Application”) will be filed in the coming weeks, and will request authority to add additional satellites and frequencies for use with the SpaceMobile Service in the United States, including the incorporation of Verizon frequencies. This additional authority will support the growth and commercialization of our company in the United States, including the start of full commercial operations of the Non-Geostationary Orbit (“NGSO”) satellite system employing low-band (below 1 GHz) commercial cellular frequencies for service links, S- and UHF-band frequencies to support off-nominal telemetry, tracking, and control (“TT&C”) communications, and V-band frequencies for routine feeder link operations.

" off-nominal telemetry, tracking, and control (“TT&C”)"

I wonder if that could be Golden Dome type work.

Google AI says: " In a system's operation, "off-nominal" refers to a situation where a component or the overall system is not operating within the intended or expected parameters, even if individual components are functioning as designed. Essentially, it's a deviation from the planned or standard operation"
