Dortch Secretary FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Identification of Satellites Co—Located with AMC—10 and AMC—11; File Nos. SAT—LOA—20020104—00001 and SAT—LOA—20020104—00002 Dear Ms. Dortch: SES AMERICOM, Inc. (°SES AMERICOM"), by its attorneys, hereby provides the report required pursuant to the Commission‘s authorization of the above—referenced satellites. Specifically, a condition of each of the authorizations requires that SES AMERICOM provide a written report: that identifies any known satellites located at, or planned to be located at, SES Americom, Inc.‘s assigned orbital location, or assigned in the vicinity of that location such that the station—keeping volume of the respective satellites might overlap, and that states the measures that will be taken to prevent in—orbit collisions with such satellites. AMC—10 is assigned to 135° W.L., and will replace Satcom C—4, which currently operates at that position. Loral holds a license from the FCC to launch and operate a Ku—band spacecraft at 135° W.L.,! but to SES AMERICOM‘s knowledge, has no specific plans to put a satellite in operation there. If Loral does deploy a satellite pursuant to its authorization at 135° W.L., SES AMERICOM will coordinate with Loral regarding station—keeping matters to ensure that the co— located spacecraft can operate without collision. 1 See Orion Network Systems, Inc., 11 FCC Red 20434 (Int‘l Bur. 1996). Orion was subsequently acqnuired bXDLoral.

HOGAN & HARTSON 1LLr Ms. Marlene H. Dortch February 27, 2004 Page 2 AMC—11 is assigned to the 131° W.L. orbital location, and will replace Satcom C—3, which currently operates there. SES AMERICOM is not aware of any other FCC— or non—FCC—licensed spacecraft that are operational at or near 131° W.L. or planned to be deployed at this location. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology‘s Lincoln Laboratories advises SES AMERICOM regarding government spacecraft that operate in the vicinity of SES AMERICOM‘s assigned orbital locations. Lincoln Labs informs SES AMERICOM in advance of any close approaches of these satellites to SES AMERICOM‘s operational spacecraft. SES AMERICOM coordinates through Lincoln Labs with respect to any actions that are appropriate at those times to avoid any risk of collision. Please direct any questions regarding this submission to the undersigned. Respectfully submitted, Peter A. Rohrbach Counsel for SES AMERICOM, Inc. te: Karl Kensinger Robert Nelson Diane Garfield
