FCC Form 312 GeoEye License Corp. Exhibit 7 Exhibit 7 EXPLANATION OF APPLICATION RESUBMISSION Through the instant application, GeoEye License Corp. (“GeoEye”) is re-filing its previous request to modify its existing authorization to operate a constellation of non- geostationary (“NGSO”) earth exploration satellite service (“EESS”) remote sensing satellites, Call Sign S2348, to add a new satellite, GeoEye-2. See IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20120210- 00016. By letter dated March 28, 2012, GeoEye’s application was dismissed, without prejudice, because certain predicted gain contour diagrams had been inadvertently omitted. See Letter from Robert G. Nelson, Chief, Satellite Division, International Bureau, FCC, to John P. Janka, Counsel to GeoEye License Corp., DA 12-486 (Mar. 28, 2012), appended hereto as Attachment A. This re-filed application includes the required diagrams, which are embedded in Schedule S and appended hereto as Attachment B. No other changes have been made to the application or its exhibits, with the exception of certain changes to Schedule S that were made to correct minor discrepancies identified in the course of preparing the new predicted gain contour diagrams. 1

FCC Form 312 GeoEye License Corp. Exhibit 7 ATTACHMENT A: DISMISSAL LETTER

Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 12-486 March 28, 2012 John P. Janka Counsel to GeoEye Licensee Corp. Latham & Watkins LLP 555 Eleventh Street, NW Suite 1000 Washington, DC 20004-1304 Re: GeoEye Licensee Corp., IBFS File No. SAT−MOD−20120210−00016 (Call Sign: S2348) Dear Mr. Janka: This letter dismisses, as unacceptable for filing, the above-referenced application of GeoEye Licensee Corp. to modify its license to operate a constellation of non-geostationary-orbit Earth Exploration Satellite Service space stations to add authority to operate a new satellite. Section 25.112(a) of the Commission’s rules states that an application will be returned as unacceptable for filing if it is not substantially complete and consistent with the Commission’s rules.1 GeoEye’s application fails to provide the predicted gain contours required by Section 25.114(d)(3) of the rules.2 We therefore dismiss the application without prejudice to re-filing.3 Sincerely, Robert G. Nelson Chief, Satellite Division International Bureau 1 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a). 2 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(d)(3). 3 If GeoEye re-files an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the missing information, it will not have to pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1111(d). To satisfy the requirement of Section 25.114(d)(3), it will suffice to provide plots of the predicted gain contours for when the satellite is in the nadir position relative to the associated U.S. earth station(s).
