Search the FCC Approved Space Station List (SSAL): U.S.-licensed space stations and foreign-licensed ones approved for U.S.
Instructions
Search the FCC Approved Space Station List (SSAL): U.S.-licensed space stations and foreign-licensed ones approved for U.S. market access, by operator, system, licensing administration, call sign, entity, orbit type (is_ngso), foreign licensing (foreign) and grant (granted). Each row carries us_market_access (granted and foreign). Every response includes total, the full match count; set count_only=true to skip the rows. Use for 'how many foreign NGSO systems have U.S. market access?' (is_ngso=true, foreign=true, granted=true, count_only=true) or 'is Telesat's system on the SSAL?'.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max rows returned (default 50, max 500). total always reports the full match count regardless of limit; rows cannot be paged. Output keeps the rows that fit in about 40 KB and says how many it left out | |
| system | No | Substring match on system name | |
| foreign | No | true for systems licensed by an administration other than the United States, false for U.S.-licensed systems (and rows with no licensing administration) | |
| granted | No | true for rows with an entry in the list's Grant column, false for rows without. The FCC fills it for U.S.-licensed systems too, so U.S. market access is granted=true with foreign=true | |
| is_ngso | No | true for NGSO systems, false for GSO | |
| operator | No | Substring match on operator name | |
| call_sign | No | FCC call sign (exact match, case-insensitive) | |
| entity_id | No | Filter by resolved operator entity UUID | |
| count_only | No | Return only total (the full match count), no rows. Use for any 'how many' question | |
| licensing_admin | No | Substring match on licensing administration (e.g. Canada, United Kingdom) |
