The Recommendation considering that the radio astronomy service (RAS), the Earth exploration-satellite service (EESS) (passive) and space research service (SRS) (passive) are based on the reception of natural emissions at much lower power levels than are generally used in other radiocommunication services; that, due to these low received power levels, these passive services are generally more susceptible to interference from unwanted emissions than other services.
