 INFORMATIVE 
 S2603  SAT-  LOA-  20031119-  00336  Pegasus  Development  Corporation 


 On  January  30,  2004,  the  Satellite  Division,  International  Bureau,  Federal  Communications  Commission  granted  Pegasus 
 Development  Corporation's  (Pegasus's)  application  to  operate  its  Pegasus  IA  satellite  at  the  87º  W.  L.  orbital  location  in  the 
 18.3-  18.8  GHz,  19.7-  20.2  GHz,  28.35-  28.6  GHz,  and  29.25-  30.0  GHz  frequency  bands.  Although  Pegasus  met  its  first 
 milestone--  contract  execution--  it  failed  to  meet  its  second  milestone--  complete  critical  design  review  by  January  30,  2006. 
 Further,  Pegasus  did  not  request  an  extension  of  this  second  milestone  date.  Instead,  on  January  30,  2006,  Pegasus  surrendered  its 
 authorization  for  Pegasus  IA.  See  Letter  from  Bruce  D.  Jacobs,  Esq.,  Counsel  for  Pegasus  Development  Corporation,  to  Marlene 
 H.  Dortch,  Office  of  the  Secretary,  Federal  Communications  Commission,  dated  January  30,  2006.  Consequently,  the  satellite 
 authorization  for  Pegasus  IA  is  null  and  void  by  its  own  terms.  Accordingly,  this  orbit  location  and  associated  frequency  bands  are 
 available  for  assignment  to  other  applicants.
