SAT-LOA-20050311-00061               E S2666           AfriSpace, Inc.
Date Filed: 03/11/2005 17:51:19:12300
Launch and Operating Authority


AfriSpace, Inc. has filed an application to launch and operate the AfriStar-2 satellite and to co-locate it at 21º E.L. with its AfriStar-1
satellite. The AfriStar-2 satellite will operate in the 7025-7075 MHz and 1452-1492 MHz frequency bands. AfriSpace proposes to
launch the satellite in 2006.

Afrispace filed the application as a satellite replacement application. Afrispace included a request for waiver of the Commission’s bond
and milestone requirements in the event the Commission determined that this application was not a replacement application. The
initial file number, SAT-RPL-20050311-00061, has been changed to File No. SAT-LOA-20050311-00061. This change in designation
(from RPL to LOA) is without prejudice to the determination of its replacement status or waiver request. In addition to the bond and
milestone waiver, Afrispace requests a waiver of Section 25.210(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR § 25.210(c), regarding attenuator
values and a waiver of the "same coverage area" portion of the FCC's definition of "replacement satellite" in Section 25.165(e)(1) of
the Commission's rules, 47 CFR § 25.165(e)(1), to the extent necessary.

Please note: All correspondence regarding this application should reference File No. SAT-LOA-20050311-00061.
