EchoStar Corporation‘s (EchoStar) request for authority to construct, launch, and operate
a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting—Satellite Service (BSS) space station, EchoStar EX—3, at the
79.0° W.L. orbital location, which is an Appendix F location as set forth in 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—3, at the 79.0° 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, 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 is authorized to operate its 17/24 GHz BSS space station at the 79.0°
         W.L. orbital location up to the maximum power flux density limits defined in
         Sections 25.208(c) and (w) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.208(c)
         and (w), subject to the actual technical parameters 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 79.0° W.L.
       orbital location.
    3. EchoStatr, when designing its system, is reminded to take into consideration the
       geographic service requirements of Section 25.225 of the Commission‘s rules, 47
       CFR. § 25.225.
    4. EchoStatr‘s request for a waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules,
       47 C.F.R. § 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


‘ 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.


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—3 using one
megahertz of occupied 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—3 using one megahertz of occupied bandwidth
at each of the downlink center frequencies (12.2065 GHz and 12.6915 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—3 using one megahertz of occupied bandwidth at each of the
downlink center frequencies (12.2065 GHz and 12.6915 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—3. 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 TT&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
   (i.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. EchoStar IS AUTHORIZED for regular on—station TT&C communications to
   operate the telecommand uplinks of EchoStar EX—3 using one megahertz of
   occupied bandwidth at each of the uplink center frequencies (24.751 GHz and
   25.249 GHz) with vertical polarization.
6. EchoStar‘s 17/24 GHz BSS space station at the 79.0° W.L. orbital location must
   be constructed, launched, and placed into operation in accordance with the
   technical parameters and terms and conditions of this authorization by these
   specified time periods following the date of authorization:
       a.   Execute a binding contract for construction within one year (April 20, ,
            2010);
       b. Complete the Critical Design Review within two years (April20, 2011);
            Commence construction within three years (April 20, 2012);
       d. Launch and begin operations within five years (April 20, 2014); and
       e.   EchoStar must file a bond with the Commission in the amount of $3
            million, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Public Notice, DA 03—
            2602, 18 FCC Red 16283 (2003), within 30 days of the date of this grant
            (May 20, 2009).
   Failure to meet any of these dates shall render this authorization null and void.
7. EchoStar shall complete coordination of the physical operations of the space
   station with operators of space stations with overlapping station—keeping volumes


          within two years and two months of grant of this authorization. EchoStar shall
          notify the Chief, Satellite Division, in writing, within ten business days of
          completion of such coordination. Failure to meet this condition shall render this
          authorization null and void.
     8. EchoStar shall file as a modification, no later than ten business days after
        completion of Critical Design Review, a revised statement detailing the post—
          mission disposal plans for the space station at end of life, including the quantity of
          fuel that will be reserved for post—mission disposal maneuvers. The statement
          must disclose the perigee altitude selected for a post—mission disposal orbit and
          demonstrate that the perigee altitude for a post—mission disposal orbit meets the
          requirements of Section 25.283(a) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §
          25.283(a).
     9. This authorization and all conditions contained herein are subject to the final
        outcome of the Commission‘s rulemaking in IB Docket No. 06—123 and any
        requirements subsequently adopted therein.
     10. EchoStar shall prepare the necessary information that may be required, for
         submission to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to initiate and
         complete the advance publication, international coordination, due diligence, and
         notification process of this space station, in accordance with the ITU Radio
         Regulations. EchoStar shall be held responsible for all cost recovery fees
         associated with these ITU filings. No protection from interference caused by
         radio stations authorized by other Administrations is guaranteed unless
         coordination and notification procedures are timely completed or, with respect to
         individual Administrations, by successfully completing coordination agreements.
         Any radio station authorization for which coordination has not been completed
         may be subject to additional terms and conditions as required to effect
         coordination of the frequency assignments with other Administrations. 47 C.F.R.
         §25.111(b)."
     11. The license term for this 17/24 GHz BSS space station (Call Sign: $2440) is
         fifteen years and will begin to run on the date that EchoStar certifies to the
         Commission that the satellite has been successfully placed into orbit and its
         operation fully conforms to the terms and conditions of this authorization. 47
         C.FR. § 25.121(a). EchoStar shall file this certification with the Chief, Satellite
         Division, International Bureau, within ten business days of the space station being
         put into operation.
     12. On June 30 of each year, EchoStar shall file a report with the International Bureau
         and the Commission‘s Columbia Operations Center in Columbia, Maryland,
         containing the information current as of May 31 of that year pursuant to Section
         25.210(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.210(1).


> In its comments, SES requests that certain conditions relating to ITU procedures be included in each
17/24 GHz BSS authorization. Most of the conditions sought by SES are included in condition No. 9 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.                                                      ‘


13. EchoStar is afforded 30 days from the date ofrelease of this grant and
    authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond
    within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as
    conditioned.
14. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on
    delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for
    reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Section
    1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within
    30 days of the date of the public notice indicating that this action was taken.
