SAT-PPL-20060330-00035             E S2696           SES Satellites (Gibraltar) Limited
Date Filed: 03/30/2006 17:55:58:73600
Petition for Declaratory Ruling to be Added to the Permitted List


SES Satellites (Gibraltar) Ltd. (SES Gibraltar) has filed a petition for a declaratory ruling to place the Satcom C-4 satellite on the
Permitted Space Station List (Permitted List) once it is transferred to the jurisdiction of Gibraltar. This will allow Satcom C-4 to
provide new C-band fixed satellite-service to the United States from the nominal 105º W.L. orbital location. SES Americom, Inc. (SES
Americom), the corporate parent of SES Gibraltar, currently operates the Satcom C-4 space station as an in-orbit spare at the 85º W.L.
orbital location. SES Gibraltar has received authority from the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority to operate Satcom C-4 at the nominal
105 º W.L. orbital location.

In connection with SES Gibraltar’s petition, SES Americom has requested special temporary authority from the Commission to drift
Satcom C-4 to the 103.1º W.L. orbital location to prepare for the requested new service, and has requested separate special temporary
authority to drift Satcom C-4 from the 103.1º W.L. orbital location to its operating destination at the 104.95º W.L. orbital location.
IBFS File Nos. SAT-STA-20060302-00018; SAT-STA-20060330-00034. SES Americom has also filed an application to change the
orbital location of its AMC-15 space station from 105º W.L. to 105.05º W.L. to simplify station-keeping between AMC-15 and
Satcom C-4 at the nominal 105 º W.L. orbital location. IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20060410-00041.

SES Americom, Inc. (SES Americom) has filed a request for special temporary authority for a period of up to 60 days to conduct
Telemetry, Tracking and Command operations during the relocation of its C-band Satcom C-4 satellite to the 104.95º W.L. orbital
location.

In a separate but related application, SES Satellites Gibraltar has filed a petition for a declaratory ruling to place the Satcom C-4
satellite on the Permitted Space Station List at the 104.95º W.L. orbital location. IBFS File No. SAT-PPL-20060330-00035. This
