Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application by sEs AMERICOM, INC File No. SAT—MOD— For Modification of AMC—5 Fixed—Satellite Space Station License APPLICATION OF SES AMERICOM, INC. SES Americom, Inc. (‘SES Americom") hereby respectfully requests a modification of its license for the AMC—5 fixed—satellite space station to assign the satellite permanently to the 78.95° W.L. orbital location. SBS Americom seeks to operate at a slight offset from 79° W.L. in order to simplify stationkeeping at this location. SES Americom‘s Satcom C—3 spacecraft has also been assigned to 79° W.L.. and is currently being drifted toward that position. SES Americom is concurrently filing a modification application seeking authority to operate Satcom C:—3 centered at 79.05° W.L. The proposed offsets of these two spacecraft will climinate any overlap of the stationkeeping volume, facilitating safe operation of the satellites. Accordingly, grant of the instant request will serve the public interest. A completed FCC Form 312 and a technical appendix are attached in support of this application. 1 See File No. SAT—MOD—20040814—00159 (granted Oct. 18, 2004).

AMC—3 is a Ku—band satellite that was launched on October 28, 1998, and is licensed to operate at the 79° W.L.. orbital position.* SES Americom seoks a modification of the AMC—3 license to permit operation at an offset to accommodate the arrival of Satcom C—3 in early August.. Both spacecraft could operate contered at 79.0° W.L. by flying the satellites in formation to permit sharing of the same stationkeping volume. However, such an arrangement would require an increased number of maneuvers to maintain an appropriate separation between the spacecraft. Furthermore, AMC—3 is fully stationkept, but Satcom C:—3 will be operating in inclined orbit, making it more difficult to synchronize the movementof the satellites and keep a safe distance between them. In order to simplify stationkeeping once Satcom C:3 arrives, SES Americom proposes to operate both satellites at slight offsets from the 79° W.L. nominal orbital position. The offsets will eliminate any overlap of the stationkeeping volumes of the two spacecraft,thereby ficilitating joint operations. As demonstrated in the technical appendix, grant of the requested authority will not adversely affect any other operators. The locations immediately adjacent to AMC—5‘s assigned location, 77° W.L. and 81° W.L., are both currently vacant. The nearest operational FSS Ku—band satellites to AMC—5 are SES Americom‘s AMC—9 at 83° W.L. and PanAmSat‘s SBS—6 at 74.05° W.L.

proposed shift in AMC—5‘s orbital location will have a de minimis effect on the interference environment in which adjacent satellites operate. For the foregoing reasons, SES Americom seoks a modification of the AMC—5 liconse to assign the spacecraft to the 78.05° W.L. orbital location. SES Americom seeks action on this application prior to the scheduled arrival of Satcom C:3 at 70° W.L.in early August. Respectfully submitted, SES Americom, Inc. By: /s/ Nancy J. Eskenasi Nancy J.

Technical Appendix 1. Introduction This technical appendix is submitted in support ofthe application of SES Americom, Inc. (‘SES Americom‘) for a modification of ts license for the AMC—5 Ku—band spacecraft SES Americom seeks permanent assignment of the spacecraft to 78.95° W.L. instead of 79° WL. SES Americom incorporates by reference herein the technical information it has already provided with respect to AMC—5,‘ and provides here technical information that is changing as a result of the proposed modifcation 2. Gain Contours SES Americom is not submitting new contour maps with this application. The proposed shift in orbital location from 78° W.L. to 78.95° W.L. will produce no visible change in the gain contours from the maps already on file 3. Link Budgets and Interference Analysis The positions immediately adjacent to AMC—5‘s assigned location are currently vacant The closest operational Ku—band satelites to AMC—5 are SES Americom‘s AMC—9 at 83° WL. and PanAmSats SB5—6 at 74.05° W.L. An interference analysis was submitted to the FCC in connection with the initial operation of AMC—5 at 79° WLL. demonstrating that operation of AMC—5 was compatible with adjacent satelites and with the Commission‘s two—degree spacing requirements." The proposed offset operation of AMG—5 willnot cause any material change to the existing interference environment. The proposed offset will esultin AMC—5 being slghtly closer to SBS—6, but the two spacecraft wll stll be separated by 4.9 degrees SES Americom has calculated that implementation of the proposed offset would result in a change of approximately 0.1 dB in the interference environment of two—degree compliant earth stations communicating with $BS—6, as shown in the table below * See File No. SAT—MOD—19980113—00002 & 1d, Aftachment C, Interference Analysis for GE—5 Ku—Band Transponders

sess Current Orbtal Posttion (79 Offet Angle «85 Gain(1) @ Offset angle ns Proposed Orbital Postion (78.95 Ofet Angle «so Gain (2) @ Ofset angle nz 4 (Gain(l) ~ Gain )) a1 The impact of the proposed offset on a future spacecraft at one of the orbital positions immediately adjacent to 79° WJL. would also be immaterial. SES Americom has calculated that implementation of the proposed offset would result in a change of approximately 0.3 dB in the interference environment of two—degree compliant earth stations communicating with a future spacecraft at 77° W.L. or at 81° W.L., as shown in the table below zn a Current Orbital Position (79 Ofset Angle 200 200 Gain(1) @ Offst angle | 215 215 |Proposed OrbitalPosition (78.95) Ofset Angle 195 205 Gain 2) @ Offset angle 218 2e 4 (Gain(l)— Gein ) ) PB os Given that the proposed offset operation of AMC—5 will not result in any material change to the existing interference environment with respect to AMC—5 and current or future adjacent satelites, no link budget analysis is provided herein. In the unlikely event that any future concers arise concerning operations of AMC—5 at the proposed offset location, SES Americom will coordinate with the adjacent operators in order to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution

4. Schedule $ As discussed above, the proposed modification of the AMC—5 license to offset the satelite by 0.05 degrees from 79° W.L. will not resultin any material changes to the spacecraft‘s operating characteristies orto the interference environment. As a result the information requested in Schedule S duplicates information that is already on file with the Commission conceming the technical parameters of AMC—5‘s operation. in similar cases involving requests for sight offsets from the nominal orbital position, the Satelite Division has not required the submission of a new Schedule S Accordingly, SES Americom is notfilng a new Schedule S with this application. SES Americom will nevertheless prepare and submit a Schedule S if requested to do so by the Satelite Division. * See, 6.
