(“ORBCOMM’) hereby provides updated information on the planned upcoming launch of the first plane of ORBCOMM replacement satellites. The launch from Kapustin Yar, Russia, using a COSMOS 3M rocket, is now scheduled to occur during the week of March 23 - 29,2008. ORBCOMM’s first plane of new satellites will consist of the U.S. Coast Guard Demonstration satellite and five ( 5 ) “Quick Launch” satellites. A sixth Quick Launch satellite previously slated for deployment on this launch will instead be retained for future deployment. ORBCOMM’s pending space segment modification application, as amended on November 16,2007, has completed the requisite Public Notice cycles, is unopposed, and is thus ripe for immediate grant under the Commission’s satellite processing Rules.’ There is a possibility that ORBCOMM’s upcoming launch may have to be delayed, if, among other things, the requisite Commission authorization is not issued sufficiently prior to the planned launch window. Accordingly, ORBOMMM respectllly reiterates its request for prompt disposition of ’ File No. SAT-MOD-20070531-00076, FCC Public Notice Report No. SAT-00475 (October 5,2007); File No. SAT-AMP20071 1 16-00161, FCC Public Notice Report No. SAT- 00485 (November 30,2007); see also, File No. SAT-STA-20070919-00127. 2115 Linwood Avenue, Suite 100, Fort Lee, NJ 07024 2 1 700 Atlantic Boulevard, Dulles, VA 20166 Telephone: 20 1-363-4900 Telephone: 703-433-6300 Facsimile: 703-433-6400 Facsimile: 703-433-6400
