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. S2795SAT-LOA-20090807-00084 E Launch and Operating Authority 08/07/2009 14:00:00:75000Date Filed: Pegasus Development DBS Corporation Pegasus Development DBS Corporation (Pegasus) requests authority to construct, launch, and operate a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) space station at the 95° W.L. orbital location, which is an orbital location specified in Appendix F location of the 17/24 GHz BSS Report and Order, FCC 07-76 (rel. May 4, 2007), at full power and with full interference protection. (See FCC 07-76 and 07-174 for a complete explanation of the rules and policies regarding the spacing framework and interference protections adopted by the Commission). Pegasus seeks to use the 17.3 -17.7 GHz and 17.7-17.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 24.75-25.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. Pegasus plans to perform telemetry, tracking, and command operations at the edges of the requested frequency bands. Pegasus requests a limited waiver of the space station application requirements set forth in Section 25.114(d)(3) and (4) of the Commission's rules, and a waiver of the geographic service requirements in Section 25.225(b) of the Commission's rules to the extent necessary. S2796SAT-LOA-20090807-00085 E Launch and Operating Authority 08/07/2009 17:15:40:23300Date Filed: DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (DIRECTV) requests authority to construct, launch, and operate a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) space station, DIRECTV RB-2, at the 102.765° W.L. orbital location, which is offset -0.235 degree from the 103º W.L. orbital location specified in Appendix F location of the 17/24 GHz BSS Report and Order, FCC 07-76 (rel. May 4, 2007), at reduced power and without full interference protection. (See FCC 07-76 and 07-174 for a complete explanation of the rules and policies regarding the spacing framework and interference protections adopted by the Commission). DIRECTV seeks to use the 17.3 -17.7 (space-to-Earth) and 24.75-25.15 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. DIRECTV RB-2 (Call Sign: S2796) will be on the same spacecraft as DIRECTV 12 (Call Sign: S2797). DIRECTV plans to perform on-station telemetry, tracking, and command operations in the Ka frequency bands requested in the related application for DIRECTV 12. DIRECTV requests waiver of the geographic service requirements of Section 25.225 of the Commission’s rules, and waiver of the cross-polarization requirements set forth in Section 25.210(i)(1) of the Commission's rules.
