       Dear Sir or Madanm:

            COMSAT Corporation, by its COmSAT World Systems business
       unit ("COMSAT"), herein files a progress report required by the
       Federal Communications Commission in connection with the
       experimental authority granted in the above—captioned file.

             Pursuant to       its   current experimental       authorization,    COMSAT
       continues to conduct several wideband mobile tests involving the
       transmission of voice and data transmissions at C— and Ku—band
       frequencies via the INTELSAT satellite system to and from
       seagoing vessels.  These services are generally of the type which
       could not be offered by Inmarsat, due to bandwidth limitations
       inherent in L—band satellite networks.

            The cverall purposes of these experiments continues to be to
       demonstrate the use of C— and Ku—band communications via INTELSAT
       in the mobile maritime environment.                  Based on experience   to date,
       it continues to appear that such service is technically
       compatible with existing fixed services and the electro—magnetic
       environment and have great promise for the international
       marketplace.


                                                Respectfully submitted
                                                COMSAT Corporation
                                                COMSAT World Systems




                                                By
                                                     Robert A. Mansbach
                                                     Its Attorney
