                         APPLICATION OF SES AMERICOM, INC.

               SES Americom, Inc. (“SES Americom,” doing business as “SES WORLD

SKIES”1), hereby respectfully requests a modification of its license for the AMC-2 hybrid fixed-

satellite service space station in order to reflect minor changes in the technical characteristics of

the satellite’s C-band payload. Specifically, SES WORLD SKIES seeks to operate the C-band

frequencies (including the C-band TT&C frequencies) on AMC-2 with polarizations that are the

opposite of what was previously specified and to operate with a slightly higher C-band peak

EIRP. Grant of the requested modification will serve the public interest by facilitating SES

WORLD SKIES’ ability to make AMC-2 C-band capacity available to customers.

               A completed FCC Form 312 is attached, and SES WORLD SKIES incorporates

by reference the technical information previously provided in support of AMC-2.2 In addition,

SES WORLD SKIES is providing here technical information relating to the proposed

modification to the AMC-2 license on Schedule S and in narrative form pursuant to

Section 25.114 of the Commission’s Rules.


                                        MODIFICATION

               Earlier this year, the Commission granted SES WORLD SKIES’ application for

modification of the AMC-2 license to reassign the spacecraft from the nominal 101º W.L. orbital

location to 78.95º W.L.3 In the March AMC-2 Modification, SES WORLD SKIES specified that

the polarizations of the C-band transponders and TT&C frequencies at 78.95º W.L. would be

reversed from the polarizations used at 101º W.L.4 Similarly, in the Schedule S supplied with

the March AMC-2 Modification, SES WORLD SKIES provided specific polarization

information that likewise indicated that the C-band polarizations at 78.95º W.L. would be the

opposite of those used at 101º W.L.5

               As required by Section 25.210(a)(3),6 the AMC-2 satellite is equipped with

polarization switches that would permit SES WORLD SKIES to conform the C-band

transponder and TT&C polarizations to those described in the March AMC-2 Modification.

However, SES WORLD SKIES is concerned that switching the polarization could disrupt the

operations of the spacecraft. The polarization switches are potential single points of failure. If a

switch were to fail in an “in-between” configuration, it could jeopardize the ability to use either

polarization of C-band frequencies on the satellite.

                                                 2


               In light of these concerns, SES WORLD SKIES has not switched the C-band

frequency polarizations to conform to those specified in the March AMC-2 Modification and

would prefer not to do so. SES WORLD SKIES has been granted special temporary authority to

operate with the current configuration of the spacecraft, without switching the C-band

polarization.7 In order to make AMC-2 C-band capacity available as needed to respond to future

customer requirements, SES WORLD SKIES now seeks modification of the AMC-2 license to

authorize long term operations without switching the C-band polarization.

               SES WORLD SKIES also seeks to make a minor adjustment in the peak EIRP for

the AMC-2 C-band payload. Specifically, SES WORLD SKIES proposes to increase the peak

C-band EIRP from 42.0 dBW to 42.1 dBW.

               Operation of AMC-2 at 78.95° W.L. as proposed herein will not harm other

operators. SES WORLD SKIES submitted a two-degree spacing analysis with the March AMC-

2 Modification showing that its planned operations were compatible with the applicable

interference environment. The analysis did not rely on polarization diversity to reach this

conclusion.8 As a result, the proposed operation will be consistent with the assumptions

underlying the interference analysis in the March AMC-2 Modification, and the conclusions of

that analysis remain valid.

March AMC-2 Modification for a period of 30 days on a non-interference basis). Concurrently
with the filing of the instant modification, SES WORLD SKIES is seeking an extension of the
AMC-2 STA.

               Furthermore, there are currently no U.S.-authorized C-band satellites in the orbital

locations immediately adjacent to AMC-2 at 78.95° W.L.9 AMC-2 operations will conform to

the terms of existing and future coordination agreements applicable to its operations at the

nominal 79° W.L. orbital location.

               SES WORLD SKIES notes that as revised, the polarization sense of the C-band

communications payload will be inconsistent with the framework set forth in Commission orbital

assignment orders, in which two-degree adjacent C-band spacecraft have alternating polarization

plans.10 That framework is designed to facilitate coordination of analog TV/FM signals among

adjacent C-band satellites.11 However, because neither of the orbital locations adjacent to

79° W.L. is currently occupied by a satellite with a C-band payload, SES WORLD SKIES seeks

authority to provide analog video using the AMC-2 C-band payload with its current polarization

subject to terms and conditions designed to ensure that its operations do not constrain future

adjacent operations.

               Specifically, SES WORLD SKIES requests that the Commission authorize the

use of AMC-2 C-band capacity at 78.95° W.L. for analog video service as long as there is no

U.S.-authorized C-band satellite operating at either the nominal 77° W.L. or 81° W.L. orbital

    SES WORLD SKIES notes that the Venesat-1 satellite operates at 78° W.L. under a
Uruguayan ITU network filing that is lower in priority than the U.S. ITU filing at the nominal
79° W.L. location. Coordination discussions with the Venesat-1 operator are in progress to
ensure that operations at 78° W.L. will not negatively impact the co-frequency operations of
AMC-2 at 78.95° W.L.

    See, e.g., Assignment of Orbital Locations to Space Stations in the Domestic Fixed-Satellite
Service, Order and Authorizations, 11 FCC Rcd 13788, 13796-98 (IB 1996) (identifying
polarization senses for C-band satellites authorized in 1996).
11
     See, e.g., Star One S.A., Order, DA 10-1957 (IB rel. Oct. 13, 2010) at ¶ 22 (the requirement
for a C-band polarization switch “mitigates potential interference between adjacent FSS systems
transmitting analog television signals”).

locations. At such time as a future U.S.-authorized satellite with a C-band payload is deployed

to either of those locations, SES WORLD SKIES requests authority to provide C-band analog

video services on AMC-2 only if those services have been successfully coordinated with the

adjacent satellite network or networks. Grant of such authority as conditioned will serve the

public interest by allowing SES WORLD SKIES the flexibility to use AMC-2 as needed for C-

band analog television signals without affecting the rights of future adjacent satellite systems.

               For the foregoing reasons, SES WORLD SKIES seeks a modification of its

license to operate AMC-2 at 78.95º W.L. in the C-band frequencies to reflect the polarization

and peak EIRP changes discussed herein.

                            TECHNICAL APPENDIX

1.0     Overall Description (§25.114(d)(1))
This technical appendix is submitted in support of the AMC-2 modification application of SES
Americom, Inc. (“SES Americom,” doing business as SES WORLD SKIES) seeking changes in
the polarization of C-band frequencies and minor adjustments to the C-band peak EIRP values.
SES WORLD SKIES hereby incorporates by reference the technical information it has already
provided with respect to AMC-2,1 and provides here technical information relating to the
changes proposed in the polarization and EIRP levels for AMC-2 at 78.95°W.L. No changes are
proposed in the Ku-band parameters and operational modes described in the March AMC-2
Modification.
The revisions described here are:
      a) Reversal of the C-band communications and TT&C polarizations described in the March
         AMC-2 Modification from vertical to horizontal, and horizontal to vertical.
      b) A slight change of peak C-band EIRP from 42.0 dBW to 42.1 dBW.

2.0     Schedule S (§25.114(c))

The Schedule S database included with this filing reflects the changes to the C-band operations
proposed herein. Because no changes are proposed with respect to AMC-2 Ku-band operations,
the attached Schedule S does not provide information concerning the AMC-2 Ku-band payload.2
This section describes changes in the Schedule S relating to the proposed operation of AMC-2 at
78.95°W.L. and addresses some items not covered in the Schedule S.
      1. Transponder frequency plan. Table 1 shows the frequency and polarization plan of the
         modified system. The polarizations of transponders are reversed from what was
         described in the March AMC-2 Modification.
      2. Telemetry and Telecommand (TT&C) frequencies and beams. The proposed
         polarizations of the TT&C carriers are reversed from what is described in the March
         AMC-2 Modification.

       Because the changes proposed herein do not affect the antenna gain characteristics of the
global horn antenna, SES WORLD SKIES is not submitting new data for that antenna in
Annex 1 or in the Schedule S being filed with the instant modification. Instead, SES WORLD
SKIES incorporates by reference the global horn antenna gain information provided in the March
AMC-2 Modification. See March AMC-2 Modification, Technical Appendix, Annex 1,
Figure 9. In that application, SES WORLD SKIES requested and received a waiver of the
requirement in Section 25.114(d)(3) to file gain information for the global horn antenna in .gxt
format. See March AMC-2 Modification, grant-stamp at ¶ 7.

6.0   Two Degree Spacing Analysis (§25.114(d)(7) and §25.140(b)(2))

Annex 3 to the Technical Appendix for the March AMC-2 Modification demonstrated the
compatibility of AMC-2 at 78.95° W.L. 1.95 degrees away from other spacecraft. The changes
proposed herein do not affect that analysis.4


7.0    Mitigation of Orbital Debris (§25.114(d)(14)

The information required under Section 25.114(d)(14) of the Commission’s Rules was provided
with the March AMC-2 Modification and is unchanged.

        The analysis did not take into account polarization diversity, and any effect of the small
proposed increase in peak C-band EIRP from 42.0 to 42.1 dBW on the interference environment
will be negligible.
