Date Filed: 03/22/2004 16:09:29:91000
Amendment

contactMEO Communications, LLC (contactMEO) has filed an amendment to its pending application for authority to launch and
operate the non-geostationary satellite (non-GSO or NGSO) portion of its proposed Ka-band Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) system. (See
File No. SAT-LOA-19971222-00222) contactMEO seeks to change the orbital configuration of its pending application from
medium-Earth orbits to a combination of highly-elliptical orbits (HEO) and geosynchronous circular orbits; to reduce the number of
non-GSO satellites from the currently-proposed 16 (plus 4 spare) to 7 Ka-band satellites; to clarify the spectrum requirements for the
system in the Ka-band; and to provide additional or revised technical information concerning the system. contactMEO proposes to
operate a system using three HEO satellites in combination with four GSO FSS satellites using NGSO FSS Ka-band spectrum.

The three HEO satellites will operate in the primary non-GSO FSS frequencies at 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz in accordance with
the Commission's 28 GHz Band Plan. The HEO satellites will also operate on a secondary/non-unacceptable-interference basis in the
19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz bands, subject to the applicable equivalent power flux-density limits (EPFD) in Article 22 of the ITU
Radio Regulations. This total amount of Ka-band spectrum, 1000 megahertz in each direction, is the same as was requested in
contactMEO's December 1997 Ka-band submission. In the primary non-GSO bands at 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz, the HEO
spacecraft would operate with maximum power flux density levels (PFD) not in excess of those specified in Article 21 (Table 21-4) of
the ITU Radio Regulations, as applicable to non-GSO satellites in the 17.7-19.3 GHz band. contactMEO states the four
geosynchronous satellites that would operate on a secondary basis in the non-GSO primary bands would, along with the HEO satellites,
operate under the conditions of sharing imposed on non-GSOs in the FCC's July 2003 Ka-band service rules order. The geostationary
satellites will operate in 1000 MHz of NGSO secondary spectrum at Ka-band.

contactMEO has also requested several waivers in this application. contactMEO seeks waiver of the Commission's performance bond
requirement; a waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission's Rules to permit it to place its transfer-orbit and emergency-mode
on-orbit TT&C links in 4/6 GHz (C-band) FSS frequencies, rather than at the band edge in the Ka-band; and a waiver of the
Commission's 28 GHz Band Plan in order that its HEO satellites may operate in the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz bands on a
secondary/non-unacceptable interference basis and to permit it to use the four geosynchronous satellites to supplement the HEO
satellites in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands.

In September 1997, Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp. (NGST), formerly TRW, Inc., filed applications for
authority to establish a global V-band fixed satellite service (FSS) system using 15 non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellites in medium
Earth orbit (MEO) and four geostationary orbit (GSO) satellites, provisionally called the Global EHF Satellite Network (GESN). The
application for the NGSO component of the GESN system is designated File No. SAT-LOA-19970904-00080. In December 1997,
NGST amended its application for the NGSO component to include Ka-band frequencies. See File No. SAT-AMD-19971222-00219.

On March 12, 2004, NGST filed five amendments to its hybrid Ka-band/V-band GESN applications. The application amending the
NGSO component of the GESN system is designated File No. SAT-AMD-20040312-00030. Under this amendment, NGST proposes
changes to the orbital configuration from 15 MEO satellites to a combination of three highly-elliptical orbit (HEO) and four
geosynchronous circular-orbit Ka-band/V-band satellites, reduces the number of NGSO satellites from 15 to 7, clarifies spectrum
requirements in both Ka-band and V-band based on Commission allocation decisions, provides additional or revised technical
information concerning operation of the system, and updates ownership and control information. As proposed in the March 2004
amendment, the three HEO satellites will operate on a primary basis in the NGSO primary segments of Ka-band, 18.8-19.3 GHz and
28.6-29.1 GHz, in accordance with the Commission's 28 GHz Band Plan and will operate with maximum power flux-density levels
(PFD) not in excess of those specified in Article 21 (Table 21-4) of the ITU Radio Regulations, as applicable to NGSO satellites in the
17.7-19.3 GHz band. The three HEO satellites will also operate on a secondary non-interference basis in the GSO primary segments of
Ka-band at 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz, subject to the applicable equivalent power flux-density limits (EPFD) in Article 22 of the
ITU Radio Regulations. The total amount of Ka-band spectrum, 1000 MHz in each direction, includes use on both a primary and
secondary basis. In addition, the three HEO satellites will operate on a shared basis with the GSO and other NGSO systems in the
V-band, 37.5-42.0 GHz and 47.2-50.2 GHz, in accordance with the Commission's spectrum allocation plan. The four geosynchronous
circular-orbit satellites in the NGSO component will operate at the 119° W.L., 89° W.L., 15° E.L. and 116. 5° E.L. orbit locations, and
will supplement the HEO satellites in terms of coverage where the NGSO Ka-band FSS satellite system is not able to operate in the full
amount of NGSO FSS spectrum. Under this arrangement, the four geosynchronous circular-orbit satellites will operate on a secondary
basis in the NGSO primary bands, along with the HEO satellites, and will operate under the conditions of sharing imposed on NGSOs in
the FCC's NGSO Report and Order. See 18 FCC Rcd 14,708 (2003). Each of the four geosynchronous circular-orbit satellites will
utilize 500 MHz of Ka-band spectrum in each direction using the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands, and will utilize 3000 MHz
of V-band spectrum in each direction using the 37.5-42.0 GHz and 47.2-50.2 GHz bands.

NGST also requests several waivers, including: 1) a contingent partial waiver of the Commission's performance bond requirement to
permit the posting of a single NGSO bond to cover the hybrid Ka-band/ V-band NGSO system; 2) a waiver of Section 25.156 (d) (3) to
allow both the Ka-band and V-band portions of its NGSO satellite proposal, as well as the GSO and NGSO components of its system, to
be considered and acted upon contemporaneously; 3) contingent waivers of Section 25.202 (g) to allow transfer-orbit and
emergency-mode on-orbit TT&C links in 4/6 GHz ("C Band") FSS frequencies, rather than at the band edge in the Ka-band and V-band
frequencies and to place its regular on-orbit TT&C links only at Ka-band rather than at both Ka-band and V-band; and 4) a waiver of
the Commission's 28 GHz Band Plan to operate its HEO satellites in the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz bands on a secondary
non-interference basis and to permit it to use the four GSO satellites to supplement the HEO satellites in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and
28.6-29.1 GHz bands.

On July 19, 2004, NGST further amended the applications for its hybrid Ka-band/V-band GESN system in response to correspondence
from the Satellite Division dated May 18, 2004 (DA 04-1387) and June 16, 2004 (DA 04-1725). See File No.
SAT-AMD-20040719-00136. The amendment includes a 2 degree interference analysis, and a revised orbital debris mitigation plan
and casualty risk assessment. NGST also submitted a technical analysis regarding the ability of its proposed GSO satellites to operate on
a secondary basis to NGSO FSS systems in the Ka-band.

Associated with NGST's hybrid Ka-band/V-band applications, is a January 2003 filing made by NGST in which it notified the
Commission of the consummation of the transfer of control of TRW, Inc. to Northrop Grumman Corp. pursuant to Commission
approval in a decision released on December 6, 2002, DA- 02-3373. In its January 2003 filing, NGST requests that the above-pending
NGSO applications be conformed to reflect the change in control authorized in DA 02-3373. As required under Section 25.116(c)(2)
of the Commission's rules, NGST requests an exemption to the "cut-off" rule for its NGSO application. See Letter from Stephen D.
Baruch, David S. Keir, Counsel to Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corporation, to Marlene Dortch, Secretary, Federal
Communications Commission, January 10, 2003.

Ka-band and V-band frequencies, and to place its regular on-orbit TT&C links only at Ka-band rather than at both Ka-band and V-band.

On July 19, 2004, NGST further amended the application in response to correspondence from the Satellite Division dated May 18,
2004 (DA 04-1387) and June 16, 2004 (DA 04-1725). See File No. SAT-AMD-20040719-00137. The amendment includes a 2
degree interference analysis, and a revised orbital debris mitigation plan and casualty risk assessment. NGST also submitted a technical
analysis regarding the ability of its proposed GSO satellites to operate on a secondary basis to NGSO FSS systems in the Ka-band.

As of the date of the release of this Public Notice, we re-designate the ex parte status of this proceeding from restricted to
"permit-but-disclose," pursuant to Section 1.1200(a) of our rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a).

Special Temporary Authority

PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (PanAmSat), has filed a request for a 180-day extension, until January 27, 2005, of its Special Temporary
Authority (STA) to operate the tracking, telemetry, and command (TT&C) frequencies on Galaxy XII while it is on station at 125.25°
W.L. Galaxy XII is a C-band satellite that commenced operation on May 5, 2003 at 74° W.L. On February 3, 2004, PanAmSat was
granted an STA to: (1) relocate Galaxy XII from 74° W.L. to 125.25° W.L. and (2) operate the TT&C frequencies on Galaxy XII
during the relocation of the spacecraft and when the spacecraft is on station at 125.25° W.L. The relocation of Galaxy XII to 125.25°
W.L., to serve as an in-orbit spare providing back up to PanAmSat’s fleet in the western portion of the U.S. domestic arc, has since
been completed. PanAmSat is seeking a 180 day extension of the STA to operate the TT&C frequencies on the Galaxy XII satellite.
