C. 20554 News media information 202- 418- 0500 Fax- On- Demand 202- 418- 2830; Internet: http:// www. fcc. gov (or ftp. fcc. gov) TTY (202) 418- 2555 Tuesday December 23, 2003 SAT- 00182 Report No. Satellite Space Applications Accepted for Filing POLICY BRANCH INFORMATION The applications listed below have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing. The Commission reserves the right to return any of the applications if, upon further examination, it is determined the application is not in conformance with the Commission's rules or its policies. Petitions, oppositions and other pleadings filed in response to this notice should conform to Section 25.154 of the Commission's rules, unless otherwise noted. 47 C. F. R. § 25.154. Intelsat LLC S2388 SAT- AMD- 20031118- 00331 E Amendment 11/ 18/ 2003 13: 08: 11: 26000 Date Filed: Intelsat LLC has filed an amendment to its pending application for modification of its INTELSAT 702 satellite (see File No. SAT- MOD- 20020923- 00177). In this amendment, Intelsat seeks to relocate INTELSAT 702 to 54.85° E. L. in 2003, rather than 85.15º E. L., as requested in the September 2002 modification application. EchoStar Satellite Corporation S2499 SAT- AMD- 20031203- 00345 E Amendment 12/ 03/ 2003 12: 09: 38: 24300 Date Filed: EchoStar Satellite Corporation has filed an amendment to its application to construct, launch and operate a geostationary satellite in the Fixed- Satellite Service using Ka- band frequencies (29.25- 30.0, 28.35 - 28.6, 19.7- 20.2, and 18.2- 18.8 GHz) at the 81° W. L. orbital location (see File No. SAT- LOA- 20030827- 00186). Subsequently, the 97° W. L. location became available for assignment. Therefore, EchoStar is amending its August 27th application to select the 97° W. L. orbital location. Locating the satellite at 97° W. L. provides better "look- angles" for CONUS customers and permits service to Hawaii and parts of Alaska. EchoStar has increased the number of beams on the proposed satellite to extend coverage to both of those States, as well as to the Caribbean. Intelsat LLC S2414 SAT- AMD- 20031215- 00357 E Amendment 12/ 15/ 2003 18: 00: 34: 39000 Date Filed: INTELSAT LLC has filed an amendment to its pending request for extension of the milestone dates for completing construction and launching the INTELSAT 10- 02 satellite (originally called INTELSAT ALPHA- 2). See File No. SAT- MOD- 20030723- 00136. In its July 23 modification, INTELSAT requested construction completion milestone be extended until January 2004 and the launch milestone be extended until March 2004. In this amendment, INTELSAT seeks authority to further extend these dates to March 2004 and July 2004, respectively. PLEASE NOTE: Comments on this amendment may be filed on or before January 2, 2004. Replies may be filed on or before January 9, 2004. Page 1 of 2 1 For more information concerning this Notice, contact the Satellite Division at 202- 418- 0719; TTY 202- 418- 2555. EchoStar Satellite Corporation S2601 SAT- LOA- 20031103- 00322 E Launch and Operating Authority 11/ 03/ 2003 18: 01: 52: 42300 Date Filed: EchoStar Satellite Corporation (EchoStar) has filed an application for authority to construct, launch and operate a geostationary (GSO) satellite in the Fixed- Satellite Service (FSS) using the Ka- band frequencies at the 125° W. L. orbital location. The proposed Ka- band payload will consist of 64 active transponders using eight 115 MHz channels across 1000 MHz of the GSO portion of the Ka- band spectrum in each direction (18.3- 18.8 GHz and 19.7- 20.2 GHz from space- to- Earth, and 28.35- 28.6 GHz and 29.25- 30 GHz from Earth- to- space). EchoStar proposes to offer Direct- to- Home services, two- way broadband services, interactive services and HD content to consumers on a non- common carrier basis. NetSat 28 Company, L. L. C. S2204 SAT- MOD- 20030829- 00290 E Modification 08/ 29/ 2003 18: 08: 34: 42000 Date Filed: NetSat 28 Company, L. L. C. has filed an application for modification of its authorization to launch and operate a geostationary orbit, Fixed Satellite Service (GSO FSS) Ka- band satellite at the 95° W. L. orbital location. NetSat 28’s current milestones require completion of construction in August 2003 and launch in September 2003. NetSat 28 requests an extension of its milestones, as follows: Complete construction: June 2005 Launch: July 2005. NetSat 28 also sought authority to add a second satellite to its existing 95° W. L. orbital location and make some minor technical modifications to its system design in accordance with the system specifications. This portion of the application was dismissed by letter on December 19, 2003. See Letter to Counsel, NetSat 28 Company, L. L. C. from Chief, Satellite Division, International Bureau, DA 03- 4043 (December 19, 2003). SES Americom, Inc. S2432 SAT- STA- 20031219- 00363 E Special Temporary Authority 12/ 19/ 2003 19: 41: 03: 69300 Date Filed: SES AMERICOM, Inc. has filed a request for special temporary authority to permit it to test its AMC- 10 spacecraft at 146º W. L. for a period of up to sixty days following launch. AMC- 10 is a C- band replacement satellite for Satcom C- 4 at 135º W. L. SES AMERICOM seeks expedited action on this request because AMC- 10 is scheduled for launch on February 5, 2004. Page 2 of 2 2
