Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application by ) ) SES AMERICOM, JNC. 1 File No. SAT-STA- ) For Modification of the Satcom C-3 License to ) Extend the License Term and APPLICATION OF SES AMERICOM, INC. By this application, SES Americom, Inc. (“SES Americom”) respectfully requests an extension through December 3 1, 2010 of the license for its Satcom C-3 satellite and seeks authority to deorbit the spacecraft at the end of its life. A completed FCC Form 3 12 is attached, and SES Americom incorporates by reference the technical information previously provided in support of Satcom C-3.1 SES Americom is also attaching the information regarding orbital debris mitigation required pursuant to Section 25.1 14(d)(14) of the Commission’s rules. LICENSE EXTENSION Satcom C-3 is a geostationary C-band satellite operating in inclined orbit at 79.05” W.L. The license term for Satcom C-3 expired on December 16,2007, and due to an administrative oversight, SES Americom did not submit an application to extend the license term prior to that date. SES Americom has requested special temporary authority for continuing operations (see File No. SAT-STA-20080311-00062) and here seeks an extension of the Satcom C-3 license term to allow long-term continued operations. Grant of this modification will serve 1 The most recent technical information regarding operations of Satcom C-3 is found in File No. SAT-MOD-20040812-00159 (grant-stamped Oct. 18,2004) and File No. SAT-MOD- 20050609-001 18 (grant-stamped July 20,2005).

the public interest by promoting efficient use of orbital resources and permitting continued service to customers. Satcom C-3 commenced operation December 16, 1992 with an original ten-year license term. The term was extended to fifteen years pursuant to the Commission’s decision in the Space Station Licensing Reform proceeding.2 Satcom C-3 remains capable of providing reliable and affordable C-band service to customers. Specifically, SES Americom estimates based on currently available data that Satcom C-3’s useful life will extend through the end of 2010. SES Arnericom is not proposing any change in Satcom C-3’s operations, which will continue to conform to the technical parameters on file with the Commission. Extending the license for Satcom C-3 will serve the public interest by allowing the continued use of Satcom C-3 to offer service to customers at 79.05’ W.L. In addition, grant of the license extension will promote the efficient use of orbital resources. DEORBIT AUTHORITY SES Americom also seeks authority to deorbit Satcom C-3 at its end of life. Specifically, SES Arnericom seeks a modification of the Satcom C-3 license to permit continued operation of the TT&C systems of Satcom C-3 during deorbit maneuvers as described herein. SES Americom requests deorbit authority pursuant to the procedures applicable to satellites launched prior to March 18,2002. These satellites are not subject to the minimum perigee requirement in Section 25.283 (a) of the Commission’s rules. 2 Amendment of the Commission ’s Space Station Licensing Rules and Policies, First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 18 FCC Rcd 10860 (2003). See also File No. SAT-MOD-20050609-00118, grant-stamp dated July 20,2005, Conditions of Authorization at 7 3 (“The license term for the C-band Satcom C-3 satellite expires on December 16, 2007”). 2

SES Americom plans to perform initial maneuvers to raise Satcom C-3 to a minimum apogee and perigee of 150 k m above the geostationary arc. If additional fuel remains once this altitude is attained, SES Arnericom will continue maneuvers to raise the deorbit altitude hrther and deplete the remaining fuel. Once SES Americom verifies the precise new orbit parameters, the end of life maneuvers will be complete, all systems, including the battery recharging system, will be turned off, and all transmissions to and from the satellite will cease. Grant of the requested authority will serve the public interest by providing the authority SES Americom will require to perform necessary deorbit maneuvers when retiring Satcom C-3. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the Commission should extend the license term for Satcom C-3 at 79.05' W.L. through December 3 1,2010 and authorize SES Americom to perform deorbit maneuvers as described herein.

This appendix is submitted in support of the application of SES Americom, Inc. (“SES Americom”) for a modification extending the term of its license for the Satcom C-3 C- band spacecraft at 79.05’ W.L. and seeking deorbit authority. SES Americom incorporates by reference herein the technical information it has already provided with respect to Satcom C-3,’ and provides here information regarding orbital debris mitigation required pursuant to Section 25.1 14(d)(14) of the Commission’s Rules. § 25.1 14(d)(14)(i): SES Americom has assessed and limited the amount of debris released in a planned manner during normal operations of Satcom C-3. No debris is generated during normal on-station operations, and the spacecraft will be in a stable configuration. On-station operations require stationkeeping within the +/- 0.05 degree E-W control box, but N-S stationkeeping of Satcom C-3, which is operating in inclined orbit, has ceased. SES Americom has also assessed and limited the probability of the space station becoming a source of orbital debris by collisions with small debris or meteoroids that could cause loss of control and prevent post-mission disposal. SES Americom requires that spacecraft manufacturers assess the probability of micrometeorite damage that can cause any loss of functionality. This probability is then factored into the ultimate spacecraft probability of success. Any significant probability of damage would need to be mitigated in order for the spacecraft design to meet SES Americom’s required probability of success of the mission. The design of Satcom C-3 locates all sources of stored energy within the body of the structure, which provides protection from small orbital debris. SES Americom has taken steps to limit the effects of any collisions through shielding, the placement of components, and the use of redundant systems. § 25.1 14(d)(14)(ii): SES Americom has assessed and limited the probability of accidental explosions during and after completion of mission operations. As part of the Safety Data Package submission for SES Americom spacecraft, an extensive analysis is completed by the spacecraft manufacturer, reviewing each potential hazard relating to accidental explosions. A matrix is generated indicating the worst-case effect, the hazard cause, and the hazard controls available to minimize the severity and the probability of occurrence. Each subsystem is analyzed for potential hazards, and the Safety Design Package is provided for each phase of the program running from design phase, qualification, manufacturing and operational phase of the spacecraft. Also, the spacecraft manufacturer generates a Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis for the spacecraft to identify all potential mission failures. The risk of accidental explosion is included as part of this analysis. This analysis indicates failure modes, possible causes, methods of detection, and compensating features of the spacecraft design. 1 See File No. SAT-MOD-20040812-00159 (grant-stamped Oct. 18, 2004) and File No. SAT-MOD-20050609-00118 (grant-stamped July 20, 2005).

The design of the Satcom C-3 spacecraft is such that the risk of explosion is minimized both during and after mission operations. In designing and building the spacecraft, the manufacturer took steps to ensure that debris generation will not result from the conversion of energy sources on board the satellite into energy that fragments the satellite. All propulsion subsystem pressure vessels, which have high margins of safety at launch, have even higher margins in orbit, since use of propellants and pressurants during launch decreases the propulsion system pressure. Burst tests were performed on all pressure vessels during qualification testing to demonstrate a margin of safety against burst. Bipropellant mixing is prevented by the use of valves that prevent backwards flow in propellant and pressurization lines. All pressures, including those of the batteries, are monitored by telemetry. At the end of operational life, after the satellite has reached its final disposal orbit, on- board sources of stored energy will be depleted or secured, and the batteries will be discharged. 5 25.1 14(d)(14)(iii): SES Americom has assessed and limited the probability of the space station becoming a source of debris by collisions with large debris or other operational space stations. Specifically, SES Americom has assessed the possibility of collision with satellites located at, or reasonably expected to be located at, the requested orbital location or assigned in the vicinity of that location. Regarding avoidance of collisions with controlled objects, in general, if a geosynchronous satellite is controlled within its specified longitude and latitude stationkeeping limits, collision with another controlled object (excluding where the satellite is collocated with another object) is the direct result of that object entering the allocated space. The instant application seeks extension of the license for Satcom C-3 at 79.05" W.L. SES Americom operates the AMC-5 spacecraft at 78.95' W.L., so its stationkeeping volume abuts, but does not overlap with, that of Satcom C-3. SES Americom is not aware of any other FCC- or non-FCC licensed spacecraft that are operational or planned to be deployed at 79.05" W.L. or to nearby orbital locations such that there would be an overlap with the stationkeeping volume of Satcom C-3. SES Americom also has a contract with an external laboratory that is monitoring encounters between satellites under SES Americom's control and some 500 active and inactive drifting objects. Any close encounters (separation of less than 5 km) are flagged and investigated in more detail. If required, avoidance maneuvers are performed to eliminate the possibility of collisions. During relocation, the moving spacecraft is maneuvered such that it is at least 30 km away from the synchronous radius at all times. In most cases, much larger deviation from the synchronous radius is used. In addition, the external laboratory's assistance is used to ensure no close encounter occurs during the move. 2

When de-orbit of a spacecraft is required, the initial phase is treated as a satellite move, and the same precautions are used to ensure collision avoidance. § 25.1 14(d)(14)(iv): Post-mission disposal of the satellite from operational orbit will be accomplished by carrying out maneuvers to a higher orbit. The upper stage engine remains part of the satellite, and there is no re-entry phase for either component. The fuel budget for elevating the satellite to a disposal orbit is included in the satellite design. SES Americom plans to maneuver Satcom C-3 to a disposal orbit with a minimum perigee of 150 km above the normal operational altitude. Satcom C-3 is not subject to the minimum perigee requirement of Section 25.283(a) of the Commission’s Rules because the satellite was launched prior to March 18, 2002. SES Americom intends to reserve 1.8 kg of fuel in order to account for post-mission disposal of Satcom C-3. SES Americom has assessed fuel gauging uncertainty and has provided an adequate margin of fuel reserve to address the assessed uncertainty. The disposal orbit altitude resulting from application of the IADC formula would be 255 km based on the following calculation: Area of the satellite (average aspect area): 7.03 m2 Mass of the spacecraft: 622 kg CR (solar radiation pressure coefficient): 1.75 Therefore the disposal altitude as calculated under the IADC formula is: 36,021 km + (1000 x CR x N m ) = 36,041 km, or 255 km above the GSO arc (35,786 km) 3
