Page 1 of 2 1 For more information concerning this Notice, contact the Satellite Division at 202- 418- 0719; TTY 202- 418- 2555. XM Radio Inc. (XM) requests Special Temporary Authority (STA) to operate one lower power terrestrial repeater (less than 2 kW EIRP) at weekly PGA Tour events occurring at various locations from January through August, 2006, that are listed in Exhibit A to the application and pursuant to the technical parameters specified in this request. SAT- STA- 20051109- 00214 E Special Temporary Authority 11/ 09/ 2005 19: 05: 43: 46300 Date Filed: XM Radio Inc. XM Radio Inc. (XM) requests Special Temporary Authority (STA) to operate one lower power terrestrial repeater (less than 2 kW EIRP) from December 6 through December 12, 2005, at a PGA Tour event (the "Target World Challenge presented by Countrywide") pursuant to the technical parameters specified in this request. On June 9, 2005, the International Bureau granted XM an STA to operate a lower power terrestrial repeater at various PGA Tour events, including the Target World Challenge presented by Countrywide, for a period of 180 days. See XM Radio Inc., Order, DA 05- 1642 (June 9, 2005) (" June 9 STA"). Because the 180- day period of the June 9 STA expires on December 6, 2005, XM seeks to extend this STA to go through the conclusion of the event on December 12, 2005. SAT- STA- 20051115- 00217 E Special Temporary Authority 11/ 15/ 2005 11: 09: 43: 43000 Date Filed: Lockheed Martin Corporation Lockheed Martin Corp. has filed an application for a ten- day extension of its Special Temporary Authority (see File No. SAT- STA- 20050914- 00177) to conduct in- orbit testing of its RNSS space station (Call Sign S2372) at the 150º W. L. orbital location prior to placement on station at 133º W. L. The space station arrived at 150º W. L. on October 22, 2005, hence the original STA expires on November 21, 2005. In- orbit testing of RPS- 1 is currently expected to be completed by the end of November 2005, at which point the space station will be moved to its permanent location at 133º W. L. A ten (10) day extension of the STA will allow completion of IOT at 150º W. L. Page 2 of 2 2
