See SAT-LOA-200311 19- 003366. Condition 7 of the authorization requires Pegzsus to submit a statement regarding measures that would be taken to prevent in-orbit collisions with other satellites in the geostationary orbit. Specificallv, the condition requires Pegasus to consider methods for the avoidance of collisions with satellites “!ocated a:, or planned to be located at, Pegasus Development Corporation’s assigned orbital locations, or assigmd ir: the vicinity of that location such that the station-keeping volume of the resFective satttlli tc:; mighi overlap.” In order to determine the jp9cecr;lft that mr~e,tbe considered, Pegasus h a searched the ITU Space Network Systems Onl.nc and fcicnck t k ta!l=;wit?g in-orbit space stations: Name Locatio9 Licenses Additionally: Pegasus found a n!.mber df pclrsntial future satellites that may be deployed in the vicinity of 8’7“W.

Pegasus believes that a coordination agreement can be achieved with the SES-Americom satellite at 87"W. Furthermore, to the extent that additional authorized satellites begin operations at 87"W, Pegasus will take steps to coordinate a mutual collision threat avoidance policy and procedure with that operator. Coordination activity will start approximately two years prior to the expected launch of the Pegasus satellite. Very truly ours, 74 V a c y W. Summers Ylce President of Technology
