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-00164 Friday September 12, 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. Consideration of each satellite application in this Public Notice may depend on the Commission's action on another satellite application earlier in the queue. 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-AMD-20030827-00241 E S2317 The Boeing Company Date Filed: 08/27/2003 00:08:20:92300 Amendment The Boeing Company has filed an amendment to its pending application for modification of its Mobile-Satellite Service system license. (See File No. SAT-MOD-20030711-00128). The amendment requests access to additional feeder link spectrum. Boeing is authorized to launch and operate a 2 GHz MSS system using 125 MHz of paired spectrum in the Planned Ku-band (10.7-10.95 GHz and 11.2-11.45 GHz downlink bands and 12.75-13.25 GHz uplink bands) for its feeder links and telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C). With this amendment, Boeing proposes to use up to an additional 335 MHz of paired spectrum in the Planned Ku-band for its feeder links and TT&C. SAT-LOA-20030827-00169 E S2482 Pegasus Development Corporation Date Filed: 08/27/2003 00:00:01:88300 Launch and Operating Authority Pegasus Development Corporation ("Pegasus") has filed an application to launch and operate a Geostationary Orbit Fixed-Satellite Service ("GSO FSS") system operating in the Ka band at the 79°W orbital location. The satellite system will provide a broad range of multimedia services, including video and data transmissions. The satellite will operate in the entire 1000 MHz of Ka-band spectrum allocated to GSO FSS (i.e. in the 18.3 - 18.8 GHz and 19.7 - 20.2 GHz bands for downlinks and in the 28.35 - 28.6 GHz and 29.25 - 30.0 GHz bands for uplinks). The 1,000 MHz of spectrum is divided into four 250 MHz segments, thereby providing eight 250 MHz uplink-downlink paths, 4 on each of two circular polarizations. Fifty-four co-axial uplink downlink spot beams (split between the two satellites), two CONUS coverage downlink beams (one on each satellite), and two CONUS coverage uplink beams (one on each satellite) will provide coverage of CONUS. Of the 1,000 MHz allocation, one 250 MHz segment will be assigned to CONUS beams and three 250 MHz segments will be assigned to the spot beams. The TT&C system will operate in the Ka-band using omni-directional and higher gain antennas. The 18 GHz band is shared on a co-primary basis with terrestrial Fixed Services until the sunset dates (the year 2010 for the 18.58 - 18.8 GHz band and the year 2012 for the 18.3 - 18.58 GHz band). Portions of the 29 GHz band are shared on a co-primary basis with the Mobile Satellite Service ("MSS") and terrestrial FS. Page 1 of 3

Services are proposed on a common carrier basis. To the extent necessary, MSV requests a waiver of Footnote NG104 of Section 2.106 of the Commission's rules to enable MSV to use the planned Ku-band frequencies for feeder links and Telemetry, Tracking and Control of this proposed satellite. MSV proposes to provide digital voice and packet-switched data services and will offer point-to-point and point-to-multipoint services. The satellites are designed to provide a variety of ground-commanded, configurable antenna beam sizes and locations. Services are proposed on a common carrier basis. Page 2 of 3

SAT-MOD-20030826-00166 E S2350 Pegasus Development Corporation Date Filed: 08/26/2003 19:15:01:82000 Modification Pegasus Development Corporation has filed an application for modification of its authorization to launch and operate a Ka-band Geostationary Orbit Fixed-Satellite Service system at the 117° W orbital location. Pegasus seeks reassignment of its satellite system authorized at the 117° W orbital location to the 87° W orbital location and to modify the technical parameters of those satellites. Pegasus also requests an extension of its construction commencement milestone for satellites at this orbital location until one year after grant of the reassignment, or in the alternative, a waiver of the milestone requirement. If the Commission denies the milestone extension and waiver request, Pegasus asks that the Commission accept Pegasus’ surrender of its authorization at the 117° W orbital location, rather than revoking Pegasus’ authorization.
