                        Re: Erratum to File No. SAT-AMD-20040319-00041
     Dear Ms. Dortch:

                  SES AMERICOM, Inc., by its attorneys and pursuant to discussions
     with International Bureau staff, hereby submits an erratum to the above-referenced
     amendment, which proposes the re-location of AMC-9 to 83” W.L. in early 2005 (the
     “Amendment”). Attached are corrected pages A-12 through A-14 of the narrative
     technical appendix of the Amendment, with Tables 20bis, 2 Ibis, 27bis, and 28bis.
     The numerical data presented in these tables are unchanged. However, SES
     AMERICOM has corrected typographical errors in the description of certain
     parameters in the tables, revising the parameter labels t o reflect the terminology
     more typically used in reference t o analog carriers. SES AMERICOM requests that
     the attached pages be substituted for the corresponding pages of the Amendment.

                        Please direct any questions regardmg this submission to the
     undersigned.
                                                        Respectfully submitted,



                                                        Karis A. Hastings
                                                        Counsel for SES AMERICOM, Inc.

4.0   Spacecraft Bus Description




4.1   Electrical Power Subsystem

The power subsystem provides electrical power generation, storage, conditioning and

distribution to ensure uninterrupted communications services over the life of the mission. The

solar array will provide sufficient margin to perform the mission over the spacecraft’s 15-year

life. The original application for AMC-9 provided the end-of-life power budget. Table 30a

below provides the beginning-of-life (“BOL”) power budget.
