October 27, 2014 BY IBFS Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Application for Milestone Extension for DIRECTV RB-1 IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20140624-00077 Dear Ms. Dortch: This is to inform you that the DIRECTV 14 satellite, which carries the 17/24 GHz BSS payload known as DIRECTV RB-1, has been delivered to the Arianespace launch site in Kourou, French Guiana, as has its co-passenger (GSAT-16). Both satellites are currently being readied for launch, which is scheduled for early December. 1 DIRECTV anticipates that, after orbit- raising and in-orbit testing have been completed, the spacecraft will arrive at its assigned 99º W.L. orbital location in early February 2015. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully submitted, /s/ William M. Wiltshire Counsel for DIRECTV cc: Jose Albuquerque Stephen Duall 1 See, e.g., Arianespace, “The Spaceport keeps pace with Arianespace’s busy mission cadence,” available at http://www.arianespace.com/news-feature-story/2014/10-17-2014- combined missions.asp; “India's GSAT-16 is delivered to French Guiana for the next Arianespace Ariane 5 launch,” available at http://www.arianespace.com/news-mission-update/2014/1230.asp.
