Well this is interesting. I didn't know it was a milestone to expect but it is pleasing to see it:
Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX:
SAS, “Sky and Space Global”
or the “
Company
”) is pleased to
announce that it has received formal approval from the United Kingdom
communications
regulator, Ofcom
, confirming the ‘bringing into use’ (BIU)
classification
of its 3 Diamonds
nanosatellites.
BIU is a critical
regulatory
classification
step
that confirms the existence of an actual satellite in
space by proving the
capability of transmitting or receiving signals from a space station,
deployed and maintained at a specific orbit for a continuous period of 90 days.
This marks a significant
technical milestone for the Company, and is
another critical
part of the
unique intellectual
property
and value that has been created for all SAS shareholders to date.
This process is part of the Satellite Filing procedures required by the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) and local regulators such as Ofcom
, for specific frequency
registration
.
The SAS ITU filings for the frequencies related to the SSG
‐
CSL and SSG
‐
3D satellite systems used
for the launch of the 3 Diamonds have been
validated
by the regulators. This is a major step for
SAS as this provides regulatory conf
irmation of its ability to deliver services using the 3 Diamonds.
The 3 Diamond
s nano
satellites were launched on 23/06/2017 and completed the required
continuous operation period of 90 days on 23/09/2017.

FYI - September 25th 2017 announcement - • SAS Bring-Into-Use (BIU) application submitted to the ITU about to be finalized following three consecutive months of data transmission in S-band, as part of the regulatory clearance for frequency use
Juts in case you were still looking for the reference to it from SAS themselves
Thanks @marcus_m
