Washington, DC 20554 Re: Supplemental Information IBFS File No. SAT-A/O-20111205-00233 (Call Sign S2369) Dear Mr. Duall: With respect to the above referenced application for re-licensing the DIRECTV 1R satellite, DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) provides the following information regarding the continuing capabilities of that spacecraft. DIRECTV 1R was launched in October 1999, designed for an operational and mission life of approximately 15 years. 1 Based on the amount of fuel remaining for continued on-orbit spare operations at the 109.8° W.L. orbital location, including sufficient remainder to achieve a disposal orbit approximately 300 km above geosynchronous altitude, DIRECTV currently estimates that the satellite has a remaining useful life of approximately 3.5 years. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully submitted, /s/ William M. Wiltshire Counsel for DIRECTV cc: Marlene H. Dortch 1 See IBFS File No. SAT-LOA-19990331-00035, Application Narrative, Appendix A, at 4 (filed Mar. 31, 1999).
