 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.  Consideration  of  each  satellite  application  in  this  Public  Notice  may  depend  on  the  Commission's  action  on  another  satellite  application  earlier  in  the  queue.  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. 


 Telesat  Canada  S2637  SAT-  PPL-  20040804-  00155  E 
 Petition  for  Declaratory  Ruling  to  be  Added  to  the  Permitted  List 
 08/  04/  2004  16:  38:  38:  19600  Date  Filed: 


 Telesat  Canada  (Telesat)  has  filed  a  request  for  (1)  modification  of  the  Permitted  Space  Station  List  (Permitted  List)  entry  for  the 
 Anik  E2R  satellite  to  reflect  a  minor  change  to  the  satellite’s  orbital  location  and  stationkeeping  box  during  mid  to  late  September  to 
 early  October  2004;  and  (2)  extension,  until  December  15,  2004,  of  its  Permitted  List  entry.  These  changes  are  necessary  to 
 accomplish  the  transfer  of  traffic  to  the  Anik  F2  satellite,  which  is  expected  to  occur  in  early  October  2004. 
 During  the  approximate  two-  week  period  necessary  to  transfer  traffic,  Anik  E2R’s  orbital  location  and  stationkeeping  box  will  be 
 111.06°  W.  L.  +/-  0.03°  (i.  e.,  111.03°  to  111.09°)  instead  of  its  approved  orbital  location  and  stationkeeping  box  of  111.1° 
 W.  L.  +/-  0.05°  (i.  e.,  111.05°  to  111.15°).  Because  operation  at  111.03°  and  111.04°  would  fall  outside  the  scope  of  the  current 
 Permitted  List  entry,  Telesat  seeks  modification  of  the  entry  to  reflect  the  slight  shift  in  its  orbital  location  and  stationkeeping  box. 
 In  addition,  Telesat  seeks  extension,  until  December  15,  2004,  of  its  Permitted  List  entry, 
 which  will  expire  on  September  30,  2004. 


 Telesat  Canada  S2638  SAT-  PPL-  20040804-  00156  E 
 Petition  for  Declaratory  Ruling  to  be  Added  to  the  Permitted  List 
 08/  04/  2004  16:  42:  07:  08600  Date  Filed: 


 Telesat  Canada  (Telesat)  has  filed  a  request  to  include  its  Anik  F2  satellite  at  111.14°  W.  L.  on  the  Permitted  Space  Station  List 
 (Permitted  List)  on  a  special  and  temporary  basis. 


 On  December  18,  2002,  the  FCC  added  Anik  F2  at  111.1°  W.  L.  to  the  Permitted  List.  Telesat  successfully  launched  Anik  F2  on  July 
 17,  2004  and  will  soon  be  conducting  in-  orbit  testing  at  118.7°  W.  L.  Following  testing,  Telesat  plans  to  drift  Anik  F2  to  the  111.1° 
 W.  L.  orbital  location.  Prior  to  commencing  commercial  operation  at  111.1°  W.  L.,  Telesat  seeks  temporarily  to  locate  Anik  F2  at 
 111.14°  W.  L.  (+/-  0.05°)  while  it  accepts  traffic  from  Anik  E2R,  the  current  satellite  operating  at,  and  approved  to  serve  U.  S.  earth 
 stations  from,  111.1°  W.  L.  To  ensure  safe  stationkeeping  while  both  Anik  F2  and  Anik  E2R  are  co-  located  at  the  111.1°  W.  L.  orbital 
 location,  Telesat  also  is  filing  a  request  to  modify  the  Permitted  List  entry  for  Anik  E2R,  The  requested  modification  would  allow 
 operation  of  Anik  E2R  at  111.06°  W.  L.  with  a  limited  stationkeeping  box  of  +/-  0.03°  in  mid  to  late  September  to  early  October  2004. 
 (See  File  No.  SAT-  PPL-  20040804-  00155)  Following  the  traffic  transfer,  which  is  expected  to  occur  in  early  October  2004,  Anik  F2 
 will  be  moved  to  111.1°  W.  L.  and  will  serve  U.  S.  earth  station  customers  from  that  location  in  accordance  with  its  current  Permitted 
 List  entry.
