PART 1: 47 CFR §25.170(a) SES Americom, Inc., SES Satellites (Gibraltar) Limited and New Skies Satellites B.V. have no new transponder failures to report. However, power constraints resulting from solar array failures on a number of satellites may limit the total number of transponders that can be operated simultaneously on these satellites. The actual reduction in the number of operational transponders depends on the number of solar array failures as well as the traffic loading on each of those satellites.
