                                        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-20070209-00029             E S2255           Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp.
Date Filed: 02/09/2007 16:26:47:01600
Amendment


Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp. (NGST) has filed a further amendment to its pending application for a
Ka-band/V-band satellite (SAT-LOA-19970904-00084, as amended under File Nos. SAT-AMD-20040312-00031,
SAT-AMD-20040719-00137, and SAT-AMD-20051118-00229).

NGST seeks to relocate the satellite from the originally proposed 119° W.L. orbital location to the 125° W.L. orbital location; to add
Ka-band GSO links in the 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-30 GHz, 18.3-18.8 GHz, and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands; to increase power levels in the
18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands to levels consistent with a four-degree orbital spacing framework; and to update ownership
information. NGST requests a waiver of Section 25.140(b)(2) of the Commission's rules to the extent necessary to allow the
increased-power operations in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands. Finally, NGST withdraws its request for a waiver of
Section 25.202(g) of the Commission's rules to allow transfer-orbit and emergency-mode on-orbit TT&C links in the 4/6 GHz ("C
Band"), choosing instead to conduct such TT&C operations in the Ka Band.

On March 19, 2007, NGST filed an erratum to this amendment to update the safe flight profile section of the orbital debris mitigation
plan that NGST filed in November 2005.

Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp. (NGST) has filed a further amendment to its pending application for a
Ka-band/V-band satellite (SAT-LOA-19970904-00081, as amended under File Nos. SAT-AMD-20040312-00032,
SAT-AMD-20040719-00138, and SAT-AMD-20051118-00230).

NGST seeks to relocate the satellite from the originally proposed 89° W.L. orbital location to the 73° W.L. orbital location; to add
Ka-band GSO links in the 29.5-30 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands; to increase power levels in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz
bands to levels consistent with a four-degree orbital spacing framework; and to update ownership information. NGST requests a waiver
of Section 25.140(b)(2) of the Commission's rules to the extent necessary to allow the increased-power operations in the 18.8-19.3
GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands. Finally, NGST withdraws its request for a waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission's rules to
allow transfer-orbit and emergency-mode on-orbit TT&C links in the 4/6 GHz ("C Band"), choosing instead to conduct such TT&C

Amendment


Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp. (NGST) has filed a further amendment to its pending application for a
Ka-band/V-band satellite (SAT-LOA-19970904-00082, as amended under File Nos. SAT-AMD-20040312-00033,
SAT-AMD-20040719-00140, and SAT-AMD-20051118-00232).

NGST seeks to relocate the satellite from the originally proposed 15° E.L. orbital location to the 68.5° E.L. orbital location; to add
Ka-band GSO links in the 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-30 GHz, 18.3-18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands; to add V-band frequencies in the
37.5-42.0 GHz band to conform to the other three satellites in NGST's GSO constellation; to increase power levels in the 18.8-19.3
GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands to levels consistent with a four-degree orbital spacing framework; and to update ownership information.
NGST requests a waiver of Section 25.140(b)(2) of the Commission's rules to the extent necessary to allow the increased-power
operations in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands. Finally, NGST withdraws its request for a waiver of Section 25.202(g) of

Amendment


Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp. (NGST) has filed a further amendment to its pending application for a

SAT-AMD-20040312-00034, SAT-AMD-20040719-00139, and SAT-AMD-20051118-00231).

NGST seeks to increase power levels in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands to levels consistent with a four-degree orbital
spacing framework, and requests a waiver of Section 25.140(b)(2) of the Commission's rules to the extent necessary to allow these

Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp. (NGST) has filed a further amendment to its pending application to the
non-geostationary satellite portion of its Ka-band/V-band fixed-satellite service (FSS) network (SAT-LOA-19970904-00080, as
amended under File Nos. SAT-AMD-19971222-00219, SAT-AMD-20031104-00324, SAT-AMD-20040312-00030,
SAT-AMD-20040719-00136, and SAT-AMD-20051118-00227).

NGST seeks to increase its power levels in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands to levels consistent with a four-degree orbital
spacing framework, and requests a waiver of Section 25.140(b)(2) of the Commission's rules to the extent necessary to allow these
operations. Further, NGST withdraws its request for a contingent waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission's rules to allow
transfer-orbit and emergency-mode on-orbit TT&C links in the 4/6 GHz ("C Band"), choosing instead to conduct TT&C operations in
the Ka Band. Last, NGST updates its ownership information.
