S2763SAT-LOA-20080910-00173 E Launch and Operating Authority 09/10/2008 10:00:00:92300Date Filed: SES Americom, Inc. SES Americom, Inc. (SES Americom) requests authority to construct, launch, and operate a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) space station at the 67.5° W.L. orbital location, which is offset 0.5° from the 67° W.L. orbital location specified in Appendix F of the 17/24 GHz BSS Report and Order, FCC 07-76 (rel. May 4, 2007). The proposed operations would be 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). SES Americom seeks to use the 17.3 -17.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 24.75-25.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands, with the 17.7-17.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency band limited to international service only. SES Americom requests a limited waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3) of the Commission’s rules with respect to the submission of predicted antenna gain contours in .gxt format for the non-Brazilian South American uplink beam.

S2778SAT-LOI-20081119-00217 E Letter of Intent 11/19/2008 14:22:57:11000Date Filed: Spectrum Five LLC Spectrum Five LLC (Spectrum Five) filed a petition for declaratory ruling seeking to access the market in the United States through a Netherlands-authorized 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) space station at the 103.15º W.L. orbital location, which is offset .15 degree from the 103º W.L. orbital location specified in Appendix F to the 17/24 GHz Report and Order, FCC No. 07-76 (rel. May 4, 2007). The proposed operations would be at reduced power and without full interference protection. (See FCC 07-76 and FCC 07-174 for a complete explanation of the rules and policies regarding the spacing framework and interference protections adopted by the Commission). Spectrum Five seeks to use the 17.3-17.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) and the 24.75-25.15 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. Spectrum Five seeks to perform telemetry, tracking, and command operations at the edges of the 17.3-17.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) and the 24.75-25.15 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. S2694SAT-MOD-20090909-00095 E Modification 09/09/2009 18:43:12:75300Date Filed: DISH Operating L.L.C. DISH Operating L.L.C. (formerly known as EchoStar Satellite Operating L.L.C.) requests a modification of its direct broadcast satellite license for the EchoStar 10 satellite located at 110.2° W.L. The requested modification is for authority to operate a spot beam focused on Cuba. In its original application DISH made the Commission aware that the EchoStar 10 was capable of providing service to and from Cuba, but did not seek authority at that time to operate the beam.
