band from 2503.5-2655 MHz to 2503.5-2690 MHz. Any feed-back from CCSDS SOIS/WIR member(s) indicating an usefulness of such a band extention would significantly increase the chances of SFCG recommending it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">PS: Please find below CNES’s rationale for its proposal to extend the 2503.5-2655 MHz lunar surface wireless band to 2503.5-2690 MHz band (as you know, CNES opposes to
the idea of adding 2500.0-2503.5 MHz to this lunar wireless bands for the reasons explained just below, but the 35 MHz that we are proposing to add are certainly more interesting for wireless than adding 3.5 MHz only). Moreover, to be noted: the 2655-2690
MHz band is a secondary radioastronomy band, but the RadioAstronomers present to last SFCG meeting agreed about the wireless band extension proposed by CNES, because of this secondary ITU status (and not primary radio astronomy), while it is a primary wireless
band ! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
