SAT-LOA-20030827-00179 E S2492 EchoStar Satellite Corporation
Date Filed: 08/27/2003 00:00:04:58600
Launch and Operating Authority

EchoStar Satellite Corporation has filed an application to construct, launch and operate a fixed-satellite service satellite using the
10.7-10.75 GHz, 11.2-11.202 GHz, 11.302-11.45 GHz, 12.75-12.751 GHz, 12.851-13.0 GHz, 13.15-13.2 GHz frequency bands at the
101° WL orbital location. In a separate action, EchoStar's request to operate this satellite in the 11.202-11.302 GHz and
12.751-12.851 GHz frequency bands is being dismissed because another entity holds a license for a satellite at 101º W.L. that operate
on the same spectrum.

The satellite will have 18 transponders each of 27 MHz usable bandwidth, with full frequency reuse of up to 300 MHz of spectrum on
both the uplink and downlink paths. Proposed services will primarily be direct-to-home satellite service to large numbers of small
receive-only terminals located in the United States, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, as well as to other parts of North and
Central America and the Caribbean, including Canada and Mexico. Services will be offered on a non-common carrier basis. The TT&C
frequencies will be at the edges of the extended Ku-frequency bands.

EchoStar requests a waiver of 47 C.F.R. Sec. 25.210(e) to the extent required to permit operation of the proposed extended Ku-band
payloads by way of circular polarization. EchoStar states that it does not need to request a waiver of footnote NG104 to the Table of
Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. Sec. 2.106, for extended Ku-band frequencies to provide domestic service since its proposed satellite
should qualify as "international systems." EchoStar states it intends to provide protection to the Radio Astronomy Service in the
adjacent 10.68-10.7 GHz band as required by footnote US211 of the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations.

SAT-LOA-20030827-00180 E S2493 EchoStar Satellite Corporation
Date Filed: 08/27/2003 00:00:21:08000
Launch and Operating Authority

EchoStar Satellite Corporation has filed an application to construct, launch and operate a fixed-satellite service satellite using the
18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz frequency bands at the 121° WL orbital location. The satellite will utilize 64 active transponders
using four 115 MHz channels across 500 MHz of the Ka-band spectrum in each direction. The transponders will operate with multiple
contiguous spot beams across North America to provide broadband two-way services to small user terminals located in CONUS, Hawaii,
Alaska, Canada and Mexico. Services will be offered on a non-common carrier basis. The TT&C frequencies will be in the Ka-bands.

EchoStar requests a waiver of Section 2.106 of the Commission's rules, footnote NG165, in order to allow it to operate on a
non-conforming, non-harmful interference basis in its proposed frequency bands, which are not allocated or designated domestically for
primary GSO FSS.

Date Filed: 08/27/2003 00:00:37:51600
Launch and Operating Authority

EchoStar Satellite Corporation has filed an application to construct, launch and operate a fixed-satellite service satellite using the
18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz frequency bands at the 83° WL orbital location. The satellite will utilize 64 active transponders
using four 115 MHz channels across 500 MHz of the Ka-band spectrum in each direction. The transponders will operate with multiple
contiguous spot beams across North America to provide broadband two-way services to small user terminals located in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. Services will be offered on a non-common carrier basis. The TT&C frequencies will be in the Ka-bands.

Launch and Operating Authority

Page 2 of 4

EchoStar Satellite Corporation has filed an application to construct, launch and operate a fixed-satellite service satellite using the
10.95-11.2 GHz, 11.45-11.7 GHz, 13.75-14.0 GHz, 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz frequency bands at the 113° WL orbital
location. In the extended Ku-band, there will be 32 transponders each of 27 MHz usable bandwidth with full frequency reuse of the 500
MHz downlink frequencies and full frequency and spatial reuse of the 250 MHz uplink frequencies. The extended Ku-band transponders
will operate using a broad coverage beam on the downlink, and with two small, geographically isolated spot beams on the uplink. In the
Ka-band frequencies, the satellite will utilize 56 active transponders using four 115 MHz channel across 500 MHz of the Ka-band
spectrum in each direction, using a high frequency reuse factor. The Ka-band transponders will operate with multiple contiguous spot
beams across North America on both uplink and downlink, in order to provide broadband two-way services to small user terminals.
The satellite will provide direct-to-home satellite and other fixed satellite services at extended Ku-band to the United States, Puerto
Rico and the US Virgin Islands, as well as to other parts of North and Central America and the Caribbean, including Canada and Mexico.
The two-way broadband services proposed for the Ka-band frequencies will be offered locations in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. Services will be offered on a non-common carrier basis. The TT&C frequencies will be at the edges of the extended
Ku-frequency bands.
