                                March 29, 2006
Pursuant to Sections 303(), 308, 309, and 310 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 303(), 308, 309, 310, and Sections 0.261 and 25.137(c) ofthe
Commission‘srules, 47 C..R. §§ 0.261, 25.137(c),tPetition for Declaratory Ruling
filed by Star One SA (File No. SAT—PPL—2005070               143, as amended by SAT—AMD—
2005071400147‘ and SAT—AMD—20051 1 18—00222") to add the hybrid C and Ku—band
Star One C1 satellte (Call Sign $2677) located atthe 65° W.L. orbitallocation, which is
Hicensed by Brazil, to the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List is GRANTED
Accordingly, each U.S.—licensed earth station with "ALSAT" designated as a point of
communication, 18 GRANTED authority to provide Fixed Satellte Services (FSS)in the
14000—14500 GHz (arth—to—space), 11700—12200 GHz (space—to—Earth), 5925—6425
MHz (Earth—to—space) and 3700—4200 MHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands, to, from,
or within the United States, by accessing the Star One C1 satelite (Call Sign $2677) at
the 65° W.L.. orbital location, in accordance with the technical specifications set forth in
its petition for declaratory ruling, this Attachment, and the Commission‘s Rules and
subject to the following conditions:
a) Star One C1 is not authorized to provide any Direct—to—Home (DTH) service, Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service, or Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) to, from, or
within the United States;
b) Communications between ALSAT—designated routine earth stations and the Star One
C1 satellite shall be in compliance with the satellite coordination agreements reached
between Brazil and other administrations;

c) Star One‘s request for waiver of Section 25.210(@)G), 47 C.F.R. 25.210(a)(3), ofthe
Commission‘s rules is GRANTED as conditioned. Section 25.210(a)(3) requires that all
space stations in the FSS used for domestic service in the C—band shall be capable of
switching polarity upon ground command. This provision is required for two reasons: to
permit U.S—licensed satellites the fexibility to be assigned to different U.8. orbital
positions and to mitigate potential interference between adjacent FSS systems
transmitting analog TV signals. The transmission polarization of the C—band payload of
the Star One CI satellte cannot be reversed from the ground. Star One indicates that it
has not completed international coordination of the Star One C1 with the operators ofthe
adjacent satelltes serving the U.S. market. Thus, as a condition of this waiver, Star One
is prohibited from transmitting or receiving analog TV signals to, rom or within the

United States until such time as it has completed coordination.. Further, Star One must
accommodate future satellite networks serving the United States that are two—degree
compliant. Grant of this waiver request is consistent with our precedent;"
4) Star One‘s request for waiver of Section 25.2100), 47 C.F.R. § 25.210() ofthe
Commission‘s rules IS GRANTED as conditioned. Section 25.210() directs, "Space
station antennas in the Fixed.Satellite Service must be designed to provide a cross—
polarization isolation such that thratio of the on axis co—polar gain to the crosspolar gain
of the antenna in the assigned frequency band shall be at least 30 dB within its primary
coverage area." Star One indicates although the cross—polarization isolation ofthe Star
One C1 satellite‘s antennas will comply with 30 dB minimum isolation over $0% the
coverage area, theisolation of the C—Band BSC antenna may be as low as 27 dB and the
Ku—Band MK antenna may be as low as 28 dB in the remaining 20%ofthe coverage area
(typically at edge of coverage). The shortfall will not produce a significant increase in
interference, exceptto Star One C1. Further, Star One must accommodate future satellite
networks serving the United States that are two—degree compliant. Grant of this waiver
request is consistent with our precedent.*

©) Star One‘s request for waiver of sections 25.21 1(a) and (b), 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.211(a)
and (b) IS GRANTED as conditioned. Section 25.21 1(a)requires C—band analog video
transmissions to occur at specific center frequencies and Section 25.211(b) requires
carrier frequencies for Ku—band TV/FM transmissions to be identified for coordination
with adjacent U.S., stellite systems and affected satelit systems of other
administrations. Star One states that it has not completed coordination with all
potentially affected U.S. satelite operators and thusiis not certain what center
frequencies may be used for C—band and Ku—band FM/TV transmissions. Star One has
agreed to provide such information after completion ofthe coordination with porentially
affected U.S. satellite operators and request any necessary waivers at that time. Under
these circumstances, wefind that Star One‘s failure t identify the center frequencies to
be used for C—band and Ku—band FM/TV transmissions does not preclude grant of the
petition for declaratory ruling in this instance as we have already precluded this type of
transmission. Specifically, as noted above as a condition of inclusion on the Permitted
List, U.S. lcensed earth stations are prohibited from transmitting or receiving FMTV
transmissions from television signals from the satellte. In addition to the points
discussed above, this condition will only be lifted uon the fling of a modification
request that demonstrates compliance with the Commission‘s rules, including section
25.21 1(a)and (b).

1} Star One‘s request for waiver ofthe frequency reuse requirement of section 25.210(D,
47 C.F.R.§ 25.210(, with respect to the Ku—band payload® 18 GRANTED as
conditioned. Section 25.210(1) requires all FSS space stations to employ state—ofthe—art
full frequency reuse either through the use of orthogonal polarizations within the same
beam and/orthe use ofspatially independent beams. The full—frequency reuse
requirements were designed to ensure that satellites maximized the use of their
transponder capacity to the benefit ofthe public® The Commission has waived these
requirements where, as in the case of Star One C1 at 65° W.L., doing so would allow
satellte eapacity that would otherwise lay dormant to be used to provide service as long
as such use does not preclude a state—of—the—art satellite from operating at this location.
Grant of this waiver requestisconsistent with our precedent."

#) Unless extended by the Commission for good cause shown, Star One C1 shall be
removed from the Permitted Space Station Listin the event the space station is not
constructed, launched, and sucessfully placed into operation in accordance with the
technical parameters in its Petition for Declaratory Ruling and the terms and conditions
of this grant, by the following dates:

later than April 29, 2006."

       Star One SA.(‘Star One") by it attommeys, hereby supplements its Pertion for
Declaratory Rulingtoadd the Star One C1 steliteat65° WL. to the Permited Space Sution
List (‘Permited List?) to further request a waiver, o the extent necessuy, ofthe full requency

reuse requirement in Section25.210() ofthe Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.FR. § 25210(D, with
respectto the Ku—band payload of the satellte®
       "The Ku—band payload ofthe Star One C1 satelte docs not provide full frequency reuse
cither through thuse of dual othogonal polarization and/orthrough the use of spatially
independent beams." Commission rules may be waived if there is "good cause" to do so.

rules regarding the polarity—swtchability requirement (47 C.F.R. § 25.210(a)(3)) and the cross—
polarization isolation requirement (47 C.F.R. § 25.210())
