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-00211 Friday April 23, 2004 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-20030422-00069 E S2598 SES Americom, Inc. Date Filed: 04/22/2003 17:26:47:40300 Amendment SES Americom, Inc. has filed an amendmend to its application to launch and operate the AMC-15 satellite as a replacement for GSTAR 4. (See File No. SAT-LOA-20030219-00013) This amendment provides additional information on the circularly polarized operations, specifically EIRP levels and satellite antenna gain contours. SAT-AMD-20040319-00041 E S2434 SES Americom, Inc. Date Filed: 03/19/2004 11:00:02:50000 Amendment SES Americom, Inc. has filed an amendment to its pending application to launch and operate its AMC-9 satellite. See File Nos. SAT-LOA-20020114-00008 and SAT-AMD-20030722-00133. In this amendment, SES seeks authority to operate AMC-9 at 83 degrees W.L. in 2005 rather than 85 degrees W.L., after AMC-16 is launched. SAT-MOD-20040227-00022 E S2181 SES Americom, Inc. Date Filed: 02/27/2004 18:04:39:08300 Modification SES Americom, Inc. (SES Americom) has filed an application for modification of its authority to launch and operate a Ka-band fixed-satellite at 85º W.L. Specifically, SES Americom seeks authority to launch and operate a hybrid Ka-and Ku-band satellite (AMC-16) as its initial spacecraft at the 85º W.L. orbital location. The satellite will operate in the following frequencies: downlink frequencies 11.7-12.2 GHz, and uplink frequencies 14.0-14.5 GHz; downlink frequencies 18.6-18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz, and uplink frequencies 28.4 - 28.6 GHz and 29.5 - 30 GHz. The Ku-band portion of this spacecraft will be a replacement for the Ku-band payload of SES Americom’s AMC-9 satellite at 85º W.L., for which SES Americom concurrently submitted a separate filing. (See File No. SAT-RPL-20040227-00024) The design for the Ka-band payload also differs in certain respects from the terms of SES Americom’s Ka-band license, and SES Americom is attaching a revised technical appendix that describes the spacecraft as modified. SES Americom also incorporates by reference herein the Ka-band system-wide changes SES Americom has separately proposed. (See File No. SAT-MOD-20030214-00011) Page 1 of 3

SAT-RPL-20040227-00024 E S2181 SES Americom, Inc. Date Filed: 02/27/2004 18:13:47:17000 Replacement Satellite Application (no new frequency) SES Americom, Inc. (SES Americom) has filed an application to replace the Ku-band capacity of the AMC-9 satellite currently operating at 85º W.L. with the Ku-band payload of a new Ku/Ka-band hybrid spacecraft, AMC-16. The AMC-16 satellite, a Ku/Ka hybrid, will operate in the 11.7-12.2 GHz, 14-14.5 GHz, 18.6-18.8 GHz, 19.7-20.2 GHz 28.4-28.6 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz frequency bands at 85 º W.L. The Ku-band payload will operate with either linear or circular polarizations, the beams covering slightly differing portions of North America depending upon which polarization option is used; Ka-band payload will cover CONUS and the Bahamas with 12 spot beams. SES Americom seeks authority to provide DTH services using the Ku-band payload. A separate application has been filed for the Ka-band portion of this satellite. See File No. SAT-MOD-20040227-00022. SES Americom proposes to build one hybrid satellite as represented in this application and its application for modification of its Ka-band satellite (File No. SAT-MOD-20040227-00022). One call sign is assigned to each satellite. For administrative ease, this replacement satellite has been assigned Call Sign S2181, the original call sign given to SES Americom's Ka-band satellite. This application is related to a pending application for authority to construct, launch, and operate the AMC-9 satellite. File Nos. SAT-LOA-20020114-00008, SAT-AMD-20030722-00133 and SAT-AMD-20040319-00041.
