Re: GeoEye Licensee Corp., IBFS File No. SAT?MOD?20120210?00016 (Call Sign: S2348) 
Dear Mr. Janka:
This letter dismisses, as unacceptable for filing, the above-referenced application of GeoEye Licensee 
Corp. to modify its license to operate a constellation of non-geostationary-orbit Earth Exploration 
Satellite Service space stations to add authority to operate a new satellite.  
Section 25.112(a) of the Commission’s rules states that an application will be returned as unacceptable for 
filing if it is not substantially complete and consistent with the Commission’s rules.1 GeoEye’s 
application fails to provide the predicted gain contours required by Section 25.114(d)(3) of the rules.2 We 
therefore dismiss the application without prejudice to re-filing.3
Sincerely,
Robert G. Nelson
Chief, Satellite Division
International Bureau
  
1 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a).
2 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(d)(3). 
3 If GeoEye re-files an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the missing 
information, it will not have to pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1111(d).  To satisfy the requirement of 
Section 25.114(d)(3), it will suffice to provide plots of the predicted gain contours for when the satellite is in the 
nadir position relative to the associated U.S. earth station(s).
