PUBLIC NOTICE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 445 12th STREET S.W. WASHINGTON D.C. 20554 News media information 202-418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202-418-2830; Internet: http://www.fcc.gov (or ftp.fcc.gov) TTY (202) 418-2555 Report No. SAT-00138 Wednesday February 26, 2003 POLICY BRANCH INFORMATION Satellite Space Applications Accepted for Filing The applications listed below have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing. The Commission reserves the right to return any of the applications if, upon further examination, it is determined the application is not in conformance with the Commission's rules or its policies. Petitions, oppositions and other pleadings filed in response to this notice should conform to Section 25.154 of the Commission's rules, unless otherwise noted. 47 C.F.R. § 25.154. SAT-T/C-20030220-00016 E S2193 ASTROLINK International LLC Transfer of Control Current Licensee: ASTROLINK INTERNATIONAL LLC FROM: Astrolink International LLC TO: Post-Redemption Members of Astrolink Astrolink International LLC has filed an application for consent to the transfer of control that would result from the redemption of the membership interest held by Telespazio Luxembourg, S.A. ('TSA'), in ASTROLINK International LLC ('Astrolink'), licensee of the Astrolink Ka band satellite system. Under the current ownership structure, three investors hold membership interests in Astrolink. LSAT Astro LLC (LSAT Astro), which ultimately is controlled by Liberty Media Corporation (Liberty Media), holds a 38.8% interest, Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications, Inc. (LMGT) holds a 38.4% interest and TSA holds a 22.8% interest. The current structure reflects the redemption of the 18.9% membership interest previously held by Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp. (formerly known as TRW Inc.), which occurred effective as of January 17, 2003. The parties now propose to redeem the ownership interest of TSA, which will result in a proportional increase in the interests held by the two remaining members, LSAT Astro and LMGT. Specifically, following the proposed redemption of TSA’s membership interest in Astrolink, LSAT Astro will hold a 50.3% membership interest and LMGT will hold a 49.7% membership interest. Astrolink has filed a related transfer of control application for its licensed earth station facilities. See File No. SES-T/C-20030220-00221, Public Notice, Report No. SES-00475 (released February 26, 2003).
