SAT-STA-20170816-00118                E S2653            EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation
Special Temporary Authority
Grant of Authority                                                                                                Effective Date:     08/17/2017



On August 17, 2017, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, special temporary authority to EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation, for
a period of 60 days: 1) to perform telemetry, tracking, and command operations necessary to drift the EchoStar 12 space station from the 61.2°
W.L. orbital location to the 86.4° W.L. orbital location, and to maintain EchoStar 12 at the 86.4° W.L. orbital location using the center
frequencies of 12.205 GHz, 12.697 GHz, and 17.304 GHz; and 2) to operate the EchoStar 12 space station at 86.4° W.L. using the 12.2-12.7
GHz (space-to-Earth) and 17.3-17.8 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands.



INFORMATIVE
SAT-PDR-20170411-00063                 S3013          Spectrum Five LLC
On July 13, 2017, the Satellite Division granted market access to Spectrum Five LLC to provide direct-to-home service in the United States
using a proposed 17/24 GHz space station, BSSNET2A-95W (Call Sign S2971), at the 95.15° W.L. orbital location under the authority of
the Netherlands. Spectrum Five did not post the bond as required by Section 25.165 of the Commission's rules and a condition to its market
access grant. Accordingly, the grant of market access became null and void on August 14, 2017. The market access grant specified the
17.3-17.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 24.75-25.15 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. Effective 2:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 22,
2017, parties may file for space station authorizations and U.S. market access that otherwise would have been mutually exclusive with
Spectrum Five's grant. Such requests filed prior to this date and time will be dismissed as premature without prejudice to refiling.
