Space Exploration Holdings, LLC
Space Exploration Holdings, LLC (SpaceX), requests authority to deploy and operate a non-geostationary orbit satellite system in the
Fixed-Satellite Service using the 12.75-13.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 19.7-20.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency bands to supplement
SpaceX's pending application for an NGSO FSS system (IBFS File No. SAT-LOA-20161115-00118).  SpaceX requests waiver of sections
25.157(e), 25.164(b), and 25.145(c)/25.146(i) of the Commission's rules, and, to the extent necessary, restrictions on SpaceX's proposed use of
the 19.7-20.2 GHz frequency band for NGSO operations in the U.S. and various limitations in the Commission's Schedule S, in connection with
this application. We are deferring a determination concerning acceptability for filing for the 29.3-29.5 GHz band portion of SpaceX's request.
See 5.535A of the ITU Radio Regulations.
The above listed application is subject to the "permit-but-disclose" provisions of the Commission's rules governing ex parte communications. 47
CFR § 1.1206, consistent with the treatment of other applications in Commission processing rounds.

ES 172 LLC
ES 172 LLC, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Eutelsat S.A., requests authority to operate the C-band and Ku-band payloads of the
EUTELSAT 172B satellite at the 172º E.L. orbital location to replace the U.S.-licensed satellite EUTELSAT 172A currently operating at that
location.  ES 172 LLC requests that it be allowed to operate EUTELSAT 172B at 172º E.L. in the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth) and
5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space) bands, and the 10.95-11.20 GHz, 11.45-11.7 GHz and 12.2-12.75 GHz bands (space-to-Earth) and 14.0-14.5
GHz (Earth-to-space) bands. Telemetry, tracking, and command will be conducted in the center frequencies of 11200.6 MHz and 12250.1 MHz
(space-to-Earth) and 14499.8 MHz (Earth-to-space). ES 172 LLC requests a waiver of the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106,
to permit FSS downlink operations in the 12.2-12.75 GHz band on an unprotected, non-harmful interference basis as a non-conforming use.  ES
172 LLC also requests waivers of sections 25.210(j), 25.113(g), and 25.165(e)(2) of the Commission's rules in connection with its request.
