Washington, D.C. 20554 RE: Celsat America, Inc. File Nos. 26/27/28—DSS—P—94, 36—SAT—AMEND—95, 65/66/67—SAT—AMEND—96, 192—SAT—AMEND—97, and 88—SAT—AMEND—98 Orbital Debris Mitigation Statement Update Dear Ms. Dortch: Enclosed herewith please find a copy of the Orbital Debris Mitigation Statement Update ("Statement") prepared by Celsat America, Inc. ("Celsat"). Celsat has prepared the Statement to provide the Commission with additional details concerning its orbital debris mitigation plans, as required by Celsat‘s authorization (see In Re Celsat America, Inc. Concerning Use ofthe 1900—2025/2165—2200 MHz and Associated Frequency Bands for a Mobile—Satellite System, Order and Authorization, released July 17, 2001, at paras. 20—21). As more fully described in the Statement, Celsat and its satellite contractor (Space Systems Loral) have devised a plan to limit the probability of collision with large, known objects during the orbital lifetime of Celsat‘s satellites. In addition, the Statement provides greater specificity regarding the post—mission disposal parameters for Celsat‘s satellites. In particular, the Statement describes Celsat‘s plan to raise its decommissioned spacecraft 300 kilometers above operational altitude in order to vent and empty all propellants and pressurants and to power off all payload elements.

Marlene Dortch March 10, 2003 Page 2 If you have any questions regarding this submission, please contact the undersigned. Respectfully submitted, Brian D. Weimer Counsel to Celsat Enclosure 420888—D.C. Server 2A —MSW
