EchoStar 15 is currently authorized to operate at the 45.1° W.L. orbital location in the 12.2-12.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 17.3-17.8 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. EchoStar states that EchoStar 15's two downlink beams will remain pointed towards Brazil, but the downlink beam contours will change. In addition, EchoStar 15's two feeder uplink spot beams will be centered over Brazil, and feeder link communications with U.S. earth stations will no longer be required. EchoStar states that telemetry, tracking, and command operations for EchoStar 15 will continue to be performed from existing authorized U.S. earth stations.
