SES Americom is authorized to operate the SES-2 space station at the 87º W.L. orbital location to provide FSS, including direct-to-home services and relay of data from the CHIRP hosted payload, using the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth) and 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands and the 11.7 -12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. SES Americom is also granted authority to construct and launch this space station with the capability of operating in the 24.75-25.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 17.3-17.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency bands. SES Americom has not sought authority to operate, and is not authorized to operate, the 17/24 GHz BSS payload at the 87° W.L. orbital location. Grant of construction and launch authority for this 17/24 GHz BSS capacity does not convey to SES Americom any status under the Commission's first-come, first-served processing framework with respect to the 17/24 GHz BSS capacity on this satellite.
