EchoStar Corporation‘s (EchoStar) request for authority to construct, launch, and operate a 17/24
GHz Broadcasting—Satellite Service (BSS) space station, EchoStar EX—1, at the 110.4° W.L.
orbital location, which is offset 0.6° from the 111° W.L. location specifiedin Appendix F to the
17/24 GHz BSS Report and Order, FCC 07—76, 22 FCC Red 8842 (rel. May 4, 2007), IS
GRANTED.‘ Accordingly, EchoStar is authorized to operate its BSS space station, EchoStar
EX—1, at the 110.4° W.L. orbital location, using the 17.3—17.8 GHz (space—to—Earth) and the
24.75—25.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands, with the 17.7—17.8 GHz (space—to—Earth)
frequency band limited to international service only, at a reduced power and without full
interference protection, in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in its application,
the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules not waived herein, and the conditions of this
attachment.
    1.   EchoStar may operate its EchoStar EX—1 space station at the 110.4° W.L. orbital location,
         up to power flux density (PFD) levels that are reduced from those specified in 47 C.F.R
         §§ 25.208(c) and 25.208(w) in accordance with the following calculation methodology:
         For a given location on the surface of the Earth at which the required PFD reduction
         value needs to be determined, calculate the topocentric angular separation ‘q" of the
         107.0° W.L. and 111° W.L. geostationary orbital locations, and the corresponding off—
         axis gain Gooi(@) of the antenna specified in Section 25.224(a)(1) at that angular
         separation. For the same location on the surface of the Earth, also calculate the
         topocentric angular separation of the 107° W.L. and 110.4° W.L. geostationary orbital
         locations, and the gain of the antenna ‘Geor(@)‘ specified in Section 25.224(a)(1) at that
         angular separation. Then, perform the subtraction Geor(@) — Geoi(@). The result is the
         required reduction in the PFD from the value specified in the applicable subsection of
         Section 25.208(c), or in Section 25.208(w). EchoStar EX—1‘s space station transmissions
         shall meet the reduced PFD limits under all atmospheric conditions. The PFD levels of
         EchoStar EX—1‘s transmissions shall not exceed the maximum PFD levels stated in its
         application.
    2.   EchoStar shall maintain its 17/24 GHz BSS space station within an east—west longitudinal
         station—keeping tolerance of + 0.05° of the assigned 110.4° W.L. orbital location.
    3.   EchoStar, when designing its system, is reminded to take into consideration the
         geographic service requirements of Section 25.225 of the Commission‘s rules. 47 C.F.R.
         § 25.225.



‘ The application was placed on Public Notice as accepted for filing on July 2, 2008. Policy Branch
Information, Satellite Space Applications Accepted for Filing, Public Notice, Report No. SAT—00535 (rel.
July 2, 2008). Comments were filed by Pegasus Development DBS Corporation (Pegasus) and SES
Americom Inc. (SES) on August 1, 2008. No petitions to deny were filed against this application. In a
comment filed on all pending 17/24 GHz BSS applications, Pegasus sought a "clarification" regarding
Commission policies relating to 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.158(c) (prohibition on transfer of place in application
queue) and 25.165 (bond requirement). The issues raised by Pegasus are not relevant to the processing of
this application but, instead, relate to a request to assign an application to Pegasus from DIRECTV
Enterprises, LLC (DIRECTV). IBFS File No. SAT—AMD—20080916—00188. Accordingly, we will not
address Pegasus‘s comment in this grant.


4.   EchoStar‘s request for a waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules, 47
     CFR. § 25.202(g) IS GRANTED. Section 25.202(g) requires that "telemetry, tracking
     and telecommand functions for U. S. domestic satellites shall be conducted at either or
     both edges of the allocated band(s). Frequencies, polarization, and coding shall be
     selected to minimize interference into other satellite networks and within their own
     satellite system." EchoStar seeks a waiver of this rule in two respects. First, EchoStar
     seeks to operate its telemetry, tracking, and telecommand (TT&C) links at the edges of
     the 12.2—12.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service band and
     associated 17.3—17.8 GHz (Earth—to—space) feeder—link frequency band for launch, in—orbit
     testing, transfer orbit, and emergency on—station TT&C communications (Launch, In—
     Orbit Testing, Transfer Orbit, and Emergency on—Station TT&C Waiver). Second,
     EchoStar seeks to operate its telemetry downlink at the edges of the 12.2—12.7 GHz
     (space—to—Earth) frequency band for regular on—station TT&C communications (On—
     Station TT&C Waiver). EchoStar IS AUTHORIZED for launch, in—orbit testing, transfer
     orbit, and emergency on—station TT&C communications to operate the telecommand
     links of EchoStar EX—1 using one megahertz of bandwidth at each of the uplink center
     frequencies (17.309 GHz and 17.791 GHz) with horizontal polarization and to operate the
     telemetry and ranging links of EchoStar EX—1 using one megahertz of bandwidth at each
     of the downlink center frequencies (12.205 GHz and 12.694 GHz) with vertical
     polarization. EchoStar IS FURTHER AUTHORIZED for regular on—station TT&C
     communications to operate the telemetry and ranging links of EchoStar EX—1 using one
     megahertz of bandwidth at each of the downlink center frequencies (12.205 GHz and
     12.694 GHz) with vertical polarization. This grant is based on the following findings:
         a) Launch, In—Orbit Testing, Transfer Orbit, and Emergency On—Station TT&C
             Waiver. The 17/24 GHz BSS is a new radiocommunication service and there are
             presently no global TT&C networks available in the 17.3—17.8 GHz (space—to—
             Earth) and the 24.75—25.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. In contrast,
             global TT&C networks exist in the 12.2—12.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) DBS
             frequency band and associated 17.3—17.8 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band.
             EchoStar has successfully coordinated its DBS space station operations utilizing
             the same frequency bands for TT&C as proposed for use on EchoStar EX—1.
             Nothing suggests that EchoStar will be unable to coordinate its limited term
             launch, in—orbit testing and emergency TT&C operations with all potentially—
             affected operators. Therefore, we conclude that grant of EchoStar‘s Launch, In—
             Orbit Testing, and Emergency on—Station TIT&C Waiver will not cause
             interference to other licensed operations and will otherwise serve the public
             interest.
         b) On—Station Downlink TT&C Waiver. EchoStar intends to operate its 17/24 GHz
            BSS TT&C earth stations at the same geographic sites as the TT&C earth
             stations used for its DBS space stations. As a result, there is a potential for
             unacceptable interference between the co—located DBS uplink transmitters and
             the 17/24 GHz BSS telemetry downlink receivers. In particular, the interference
             from the high—power command and feeder—link earth station transmitters
             communicating with EchoStar‘s DBS space stations could cause overloading of
             sensitive telemetry earth station receivers communicating with EchoStar‘s 17/24
             GHz BSS space stations on nearby frequencies at the same sites. This could
             result in an inability to receive telemetry and tracking signals from EchoStar‘s
             17/24 GHz BSS space station. The 12 megahertz guardband set aside at both the
             lower and the upper edge of the 12.2—12.7 GHz DBS telemetry downlink
             frequency band can accommodate a number of typically one—megahertz—wide


                  telemetry downlink signals. Therefore, we conclude that grant of EchoStar‘s On—
                  Station Downlink TT&C Waiver to operate in the 12.2—12.7 GHz band will not
                  cause interference to other licensed operations and will otherwise serve the
                  public interest.
        As a condition of granting these waivers, EchoStar shall coordinate all the TT&C
        operations permitted pursuant to condition No. 4 with all potentially—affected operators of
        other radiocommunication systems. In the absence of a coordination agreement
         regarding such TT&C operations, EchoStar‘s TT&C operations permitted pursuant to
         condition No. 4 shall be on a non—harmful interference basis (F.e., EchoStar shall not
         cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to
         it by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system). Additionally, EchoStar
         must accommodate future space station networks that are compliant with Section
         25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules. Further, in the event on—station emergency TT&C
         operations are conducted in the 17.3—17.8 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band,
         EchoStar‘s authority to conduct such operations is limited to five consecutive days
         ending at 12:00 midnight on the fifth day. If additional time is needed, EchoStar must
        file a request with the Commission for authorization to continue such operations.
        EchoStar shall notify the Commission, in writing, within two days of beginning on—
        station emergency TT&C operations in the 17.3—17.8 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency
         band, stating the reasons for commencing such operations.

    5. Division ofSpectrum at the 111° W.L. Appendix F Orbital Location. Grant of this
       application is subject to the provisions regarding division of spectrum contained in
       Section 25.158(d) of the Commission‘s rules. Accordingly, in the event that applications
       relating to call sign $2243 at the 111° W.L. Appendix F orbital location are also granted,
        the available bandwidth at the orbital location will be divided among the licensees at this
        location." The following procedures apply to the selection of spectrum by EchoStar:

         a.   Ensuring Contiguous Bandwidth Selections. Section 25.158(d)(6) requires that the
              each licensee‘s bandwidth selection shall not preclude other licensees from selecting
              contiguous bandwidth. To implement this requirement in the selection of bandwidth
              at this location, operations for telemetry, tracking, and telecommand (TT&C),
              service—link, and feeder—link band will be as follows:

                   i. Downlink Transmissions. Telemetry and beacon transmissions in the space—
                      to—Earth direction may be conducted in an 11—megahertz band segment at
                      17.300—17.311 GHz and an 11—megahertz band segment at 17.689—17.700
                      GHz. The remaining portions of the 17.3—17.7 GHz band may be used by
                      EchoStar for service links in the space—to—Earth direction.



 For purposes of this condition, the 111° W.L. Appendix F orbital location means the precise 111° W.L.
geostationary orbital location and other geostationary orbital locations offset from the 111° W.L. orbital
location.

 At the 111° W.L. Appendix F orbital location, EchoStar applied for authority to operate in the 17.3—17.8
GHz (space—to—Earth) and the 24.75—25.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. In contrast, DIRECTV
applied for authority to operate in the 17.3—17.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) and the 24.75—25.15 GHz (Earth—to—
space) frequency bands. Accordingly, there is no need to divide the 17.7—17.8 GHz (space—to—Earth) and
the 25.15—25.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands at this orbital location, and those bands are not
subject to this condition.


        11.   Uplink Transmissions. Telecommand transmissions in the Earth—to—space
              direction may be conducted in an 11—megahertz band segment at 24.750—
              24.761 GHz and an 11—megahertz band segment at 25.139—25.150 GHz. On
              our own motion, we grant a limited waiver of § 25.202(g) of the
              Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.202(g), to permit TT&C operations in
              the 25.139—25.150 GHz band segment. Section 25.202(g) requires that
              "telemetry, tracking and telecommand functions for U.S. domestic satellites
              shall be conducted at either or both edges of the allocated band(s)." The
              allocated uplink band for this service is the 24.75—25.25 GHz band. The
              25.139—25.150 GHz uplink band segment is a necessary counterpart to the
              17.689—17.700 GHz downlink band segment. We grant this limited waiver to
              allow productive use of the 25.139—25.150 GHz uplink band segment that
              would otherwise be unused. This waiver only applies to use of the 25.139—
              25.150 GHz uplink band segment at the 111° W.L. Appendix F orbital
              location. The remaining portions of the 24.75—25.15 GHz band may be used
              by EchoStar for feeder links in the Earth—to—space direction.

b. Selection Process. EchoStar will be allowed to select the particular band segments it
   wishes to use (its "Selected Assignments") no earlier than 60 days before it plans to
   launch its satellite, and no later than 30 days before that date, by submitting a letter to
   the Secretary of the Commission. EchoStar shall serve copies of this letter to the
   other 17/24 GHz BSS Licensee at the 111° W.L. Appendix F orbital location,
   pursuant to Section 1.47 of the Commission‘s rules.

         i. Selection ofDownlink TI&C. We note that EchoStar intends to conduct on—
              station downlink TT&C pursuant to condition 4(b), above. If EchoStar files
              a modification and is granted authority to conduct downlink TT&C at the
              edges of its service bands, EchoStar may make up to two telemetry and/or
              beacon downlink frequency channel selections in the 17.3—17.7 GHz TT&C
              band segments with a bandwidth of one megahertz each: one in the 17.300—
              17.311 GHz TT&C band segment, and one in the 17.689—17.700 GHz TT&C
              band segment.

        1. Selection of Uplink TT&C. In the 24.75—25.15 GHz TT&C band segments,
              EchoStar may make up to two telecommand uplink frequency channel
              assignment selections with a bandwidth of one megahertz each: one in the
              24.750—24.761 GHz TT&C band segment, and one in the 25.139—25.150 GHz
              TT&C band segment.

       ii1. Selection ofSpectrum within the 17.3—17.7 GHz bandfor Service—Link
            Operations and within the 24.75—25.15 GHz bandfor Feeder—Link
              Operations. In the 17.3—17.7 GHz band segment, the Selected Assignment
              shall give EchoStar access to 1/m of the quantity of spectrum in the band
              segment, for transmission on a primary basis, where "m" is the number of
              17/24 GHz BSS Licensees authorized to provide service in the band segment
              at the 111° W.L. Appendix F orbital location at the time the Selected
              Assignment is chosen. In the 17.3—17.7 GHz band segment, the Selected
              Assignment shall be chosen such that the lower band edge of the assignment
              is an integer multiple of 378/m megahertz from the band edge of the lower
              TT&C band segment, at 17.311 GHz, and the upper band edge of the

           * In its comments, SES requests that certain conditions relating to ITU proceduresbe mcludedin each
           17/24 GHz BSS authorization. Most of the conditions sought by SES are included in condition No. 10 of
           this grant, which is a standard condition on space station authorizations. SES, however, also seeks to
           impose a customer notification requirement. We see no reason to impose such a condition on this
           authorization at this time.
