Iridium Constellation LLC
Nature of Service: Mobile Satellite Service
On January 30, 2014, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, the application of Iridium Constellation LLC to modify its authorization to
operate Mobile-Satellite Service space stations in the 1617.775-1626.5 MHz (service link), 19.4-19.6 GHz (feeder downlink and TT&C), and
29.1-29.3 GHz (feeder uplink and TT&C) frequency bands by permitting Iridium periodically to operate additional satellites in tandem with
existing satellites that become partially impaired.

Iridium Constellation LLC
Nature of Service: Mobile Satellite Service
On January 30, 2014, the Satellite Division granted the application of Iridium Constellation LLC to modify its authorization to operate
Mobile-Satellite Service space stations in the 1617.775-1626.5 MHz (service link), 19.4-19.6 GHz (feeder downlink and TT&C), and 29.1-29.3
GHz (feeder uplink and TT&C) frequency bands by permitting a spare satellite to be positioned in a parking orbit at the mission altitude of 778
kilometers, approximately 300 kilometers behind one of the operational satellites in the Iridium constellation, rather than in the currently
authorized parking orbit at 645 kilometers.  The spare satellite will conduct telemetry, tracking, and command operations in the 19.4-19.6 GHz
(space-to-Earth) and 29.1-29.3 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands.

INFORMATIVE
S2787SAT-LOA-20090227-00029 Intelsat License LLC
On January 15, 2014, Intelsat License LLC declined its December 16, 2013 authorization to construct, launch, and operate a geostationary
orbit space station, Galaxy KA (Call Sign S2787), at the 89.1° W.L. orbital location.  Letter from Jennifer D. Hindin, Counsel for Intelsat
License LLC, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC (dated Jan. 15, 2014).  The authorization specified the provision of fixed-satellite
services, including direct-to-home services, in - among other frequency bands - the 18.3-18.8 GHz (space-to-Earth), 28.35-28.6 GHz
(Earth-to-space), and 29.25-29.50 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands on a primary basis.  Pursuant to the Commission's first-come,
first-served licensing process, effective 2:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, applicants may file applications for new space
stations, market access by non-U. S. licensed space stations, modifications to licensed space stations, or amendments to pending
applications in the 18.3-18.8 GHz (space-to-Earth), 28.35-28.6 GHz (Earth-to-space), and 29.25-29.50 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency
bands at the 89.1° W.L. orbital location.  Applications for the spectrum filed prior to this date and time will be dismissed as premature
without prejudice to refiling.

On January 10, 2014, ViaSat, Inc. declined its December 12, 2013 market access grant for service in the United States using a proposed
Ka-band geostationary orbit fixed-satellite service space station, VIASAT-3 (Call Sign S2894), that would operate under the authority of
the United Kingdom at the 79.3° W.L. orbital location.  Letter from John P. Janka, Counsel for ViaSat, Inc., to Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary, FCC (dated Jan. 10, 2014).  The market access grant specified the 18.3-18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz (space-to-Earth), and

(Earth-to-space) frequency bands on a secondary basis; and the 18.8-19.3 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency band on a non-conforming basis.
These frequencies at the 79.3° W.L. orbital location are now available for reassignment pursuant to the Commission's first-come,
first-served licensing process, effective 2:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, February 4, 2014. At that time, applicants may file applications for new
