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 Friday March 11, 2005 SAT- 00277 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. 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. S2394 SAT- AMD- 20050224- 00049 E Amendment 02/ 24/ 2005 17: 40: 29: 41000 Date Filed: Intelsat LLC See File No. SAT- MOD- 20050214- 00037, below S2394 SAT- MOD- 20050214- 00037 E Modification 02/ 14/ 2005 17: 33: 03: 08300 Date Filed: Intelsat LLC On February 14, 2005, Intelsat, LLC filed an application for modification of its authorization to operate its INTELSAT 605 satellite, pursuant to the streamlined fleet management procedures under section 25.118( e) of the Commission's rules to move INTELSAT 605, operating on the 3625- 4200, 5850- 6425, 10950- 11200, 11450- 11700, and 14000- 14500 MHz frequency bands, from the 32.9° E. L. orbital location to 174.0° E. L. orbital location. This modification will be effective on March 16, 2005. Intelsat expects to have the INTELSAT 605 satellite at the 174.0° E. L. location in March/ April 2005. INTELSAT 605 was previously operating at 77.0° W. L. pursuant to STA. See IntelsatLLC Request for Special Temporary Authority for INTELSAT 605, IBFS File No. SAT- STA- 20041018- 00203 (stamp grant on Dec. 20, 2004). The Commission granted Intelsat STA to drift INTELSAT 605 to 174.0° E. L. on February 1, 2005. See Intelsat LLC Request for Special Temporary Authority for INTELSAT 605, IBFS File No. SAT- STA- 20050128- 00015 (stamp grant on Feb. 1, 2005). This action is without prejudice to IBFS. File No. SAT- RPL- 20041015- 00201. S2617 SAT- MOD- 20050307- 00057 E Modification 03/ 07/ 2005 20: 22: 06: 08300 Date Filed: XM Radio Inc. XM Radio, Inc. has filed an application for modification of its authorization to operate the XM- 3 Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service satellite at 85º W. L. The satellite is authorized to operate S- bands frequencies (2332.5 - 2345 MHz (space- to- Earth)) for service links and X- band frequencies (7025- 7075 MHz (Earth- to- space)) for feeder links. In this modification, XM Radio requests authority to operate at 85.10º W. L. with an East- West stationkeeping tolerance of +/- 0.05º rather than the 85º W. L. orbital location.

S2119 SAT- MOD- 20050307- 00058 E Modification 03/ 07/ 2005 20: 47: 04: 53000 Date Filed: XM Radio Inc. XM Radio, Inc. has filed an application for modification of its authorization to operate the XM- 2 (aka XM- Rock) Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service satellite at 115º W. L. The satellite is authorized to operate S- bands frequencies (2332.5 - 2345 MHz (space- to- Earth)) for service links and X- band frequencies (7025- 7075 MHz (Earth- to- space)) for feeder links. In this modification, XM Radio requests authority to operate at 115.10º W. L. with an East- West stationkeeping tolerance of + 0.05º rather than the 115º W. L. orbital location. S2499 SAT- MOD- 20050308- 00059 E Modification 03/ 08/ 2005 20: 35: 53: 68000 Date Filed: EchoStar Satellite L. L. C. EchoStar Satellite L. L. C. has filed an application for modification of its authorization to operate a geostationary Ka- band satellite 97º W. L. specifying tracking, telemetry and command (TT& C) frequencies as required by Condition 8 of its authorization. (See Grant Stamp, File Nos. SAT- LOA- 20030827- 00186 and SAT- AMD- 20041203- 00345, granted March 8, 2004.) EchoStar specifies the following TT& C frequencies: 29.999 GHz (using Right Hand Circular Polarization) as the command frequency and 19.701 GHz and 20.199 GHz (both using Left Hand Circular Polarization) as the telemetry frequencies. EchoStar provided emission designators, allocated bandwidth and typical link budgest for these T& TC frequencies. In addition, EchoStar requests further modification to its authorization to use 14.001 GHz and 14.003 GHz (both using Right Hand Circular Polarization) as the command frequencies and 11.7055 GHz and 12.198 GHz (both using Left Hand Circular Polarization) as the telemetry frequencies during the launch and transfer orbit operations and provides emission designators, allocated bandwidth and typical link budgets for these frequencies. EchoStar requests a limited waiver of the rules under Section 25.202( g), 47 CFR § 25.202( g), to allow for such operations. SAT- STA- 20050310- 00060 E Special Temporary Authority 03/ 10/ 2005 12: 09: 04: 87000 Date Filed: SES Americom, Inc. SES Americom, Inc has filed a request for special temporary authority to operate the AMC- 15 Ka- band payload and Ku- band TT& C at 113.075º W. L. +/- 0.025 degrees for the period from March 21, 2005 to May 21, 2005. Earlier this year SES Americom was granted authority to operate at 113º W. L. in these frequencies for this period. (See File No. SAT- STA- 20041012- 00198, SES Americom, Inc., Memorandum Opinion & Order, DA 05- 39 (Sat. Div. rel. Jan. 6, 2005).) SES Americom now seeks to operate at a slight offset from 113º W. L. in order to simplify the coordination of stationkeeping maneuvers with SatMex, which operates the Solidaridad 2 spacecraft at 113º W. L. Page 2 of 2 2
