XM Radio Inc.
XM Radio Inc. (XM) requests authority to modify three of its licensed satellites - XM-1 (Call Sign 2118), XM-2 (Call Sign S2119), and XM-3
(Call Sign S2617) - by collocating the satellites at the nominal 85º W.L. orbital location in order to ensure optimal performance of XM’s Satellite
Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) system in the event of an outage.  XM proposes to position these three satellites side-by-side within an
overall station-keeping box of 0.2 degrees.  XM requests authority to 1) operate XM-1 as an in-orbit spare at the 85.150° W.L. orbital location
with an East-West station-keeping tolerance of ±.033°; 2) operate XM-2 as an in-orbit spare at the 85.217º W.L. orbital location with an
East-West station-keeping tolerance of ±.033°; 3) operate XM-3 at the 85.083° W.L. orbital location with an East-West stationkeeping tolerance
of ±.033° including continuous operation of its communications payload during the drift to that location; and 4) activate the communications
payload of XM-1 and XM-2 in the event of an XM-3 or XM-4 service outage.
