Operations are also subject to the following conditions: 1. Communications between U.S.—licensed earth stations and the SES—15 space station must comply with all existing and future space station coordination agreements reached between the United Kingdom and other administrations.‘ 2. —SES must maintain its SES—15 space station with an east/west longitudinal station—keeping tolerance of + 0.05 degrees of the 129.15° W.L. orbital location. 3. SES‘s request for waiver of footnote NG52 of the United States Table of Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, NG52, to use the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band to offer domestic services on an unprotected, non— interference basis in the United States is GRANTED, as conditioned. SES‘s request involves space—to—Earth transmissions that meet the power—flux—density (pfd) on the ground required to protect fixed—service stations in the 10.95—11.20 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 11.45—11.70 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands.2 SES has agreed to accept any level of interference from fixed stations, and operators of fixed stations will not be required to coordinate their operations with SES‘s receive earth stations. Under these circumstances, we determine that no additional coordination burden is placed upon fixed station operators and their ability to expand service in the future would not be restricted in any manner." Grant here is consistent with prior Commission precedent," and is subject to the following conditions: a. SES‘s space—to—Earth transmissions in the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band that provide domestic service are on an unprotected, non—harmful interference basis relative to fixed stations. As such, SES must not cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from, fixed stations to which frequencies in the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band have either been already assigned, or to which frequencies in the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band may be assigned at a later date. b. SES is required to inform its customers, in writing, including end—users receiving service from resellers accessing capacity on the SES—15 space station, that the service in the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space— to—Earth) frequency band with regard to domestic service is being provided on an unprotected basis, ‘ Intelsat License LLC, together with JSAT International, Inc., filed comments but did not oppose grant of the application. Intelsat and JSAT ask us to impose a condition with respect to the ITU coordination process. We impose the above condition on SES‘s authorization and note that SES accepts this grant of market access subject to the international coordination process. See Amendment ofthe Commission‘s Space Station Licensing Rules and Policies, First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 18 FCC Red 10760, 10799—10800, para. 96 (2003). This grant is with respect to market access for communications with the United States, and therefore is limited accordingly. 2 See 47 CFR § 25.208(b). 3 PanAmSat Licensee Corp.

Div., Int‘l Bur., 2005). * For example, the Intelsat 29e space station, which is currently authorized to operate at 50.0° W.L, has a waiver of footnote NG52 for the 10.95—11.2 and 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency bands portion of the Ku—band as a condition of its current authorization. See Policy Branch Information: Action Taken, Public Notice, Report No. SAT—01086 (IBFS File No.SAT— LOA—20130722—00097, as amended by IBFS File No. SAT—AMD—20140718—00087 (May 22, 2015). Page 2 of 6

ATTACHMENT TO GRANT IBFS File No. SAT—MPL—20160718—00063 and that the potential exists that future licensed fixed stations may cause harmful interference to these earth stations c. SES must terminate operations in the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band upon notification that its operations are causing interference to fixed stations operating in this band, and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. SES‘s use of the 10.7—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band is subject to footnote US211 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47. CFR § 2.106, US211, which urges applicants for airborne or space station assignments to take all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the adjacent bands from harmful interference, consistent with footnote US74. SES‘s use of the 10.7—10.95 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 11.2—11.45 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands is subject to footnote 5.441 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, 5.441, which states that operations in these bands shall be in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 30B. SES‘s request for waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules is GRANTED, as conditioned. Section 25.202(g) requires in relevant part, that telemetry, tracking, and command signals be transmitted within the assigned bands. SES seeks waiver of this rule to operate SES—15°s back—up command uplink at 13999 MHz, which is outside the frequency band in which SES—15 will be providing service," for on—station TT&C communications at the 129.15° W.L. orbital location. This waiver grant is based upon the following findings: a. The 13999 MHz command frequency will be used only for back—up and will not be in regular operation; b. No other satellite within two degrees of the nominal 129° W.L. orbital location currently operates in the 13.7—14.0 GHz band; and c. As a condition of the grant of this waiver, SES shall coordinate TT&C operations of SES—15 at the 129.15° W.L. orbital location with all potentially affected operators of other communication systems. SES‘s TT&C operations at 13999 MHz shall be on a non—harmful interference basis (i.e., SES shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system). Additionally, SES must accommodate future space station networks that are compliant with Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules. SES‘s request for a waiver of Section 25.283(c) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 CFR § 25.283(c) is GRANTED. Section 25.283(c) specifies that space stations must discharge all stored energy sources at end— of—life of the space station. The SES—15 space station is a Boeing model 7208P spacecraft that uses a xenon ion propulsion system that will not be fully vented at the satellite‘s end—of—life. SES projects the amount of xenon remaining at end—of—life to be 4.2 kg, in a single tank with a volume of roughly 233 liters.© We find that the measures described in the application for depletion of xenon are appropriate. Operations of SES—15 in the 14.47—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands are subject to the terms of footnotes 5.149 and US342 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, 5.149, US342, which urge applicants to take all practicable steps to protect the radio astronomy service from harmful interference. Market access to provide DTH services is limited to operations in the 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. 5 See Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp., Order and Authorization, 21 FCC Red 2330, 2362, para. 94 (IB 2009). 6 SES states that the remaining xenon will be at a pressure of roughly 50 psi, at approximately 35 degrees Celsius, and that the burst pressure of the tank is 7500 psia.

ATTACHMENT TO GRANT IBFS File No. SAT—MPL—20160718—00063 10. SES—15 must coordinate its space—to—Earth operations in the 18.3—18.8 GHz and 19.7—20.2 GHz frequency bands with U.S. Federal systems, including Federal operations to earth stations in foreign countries, in accordance with footnote US334 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106. 11. The power—flux density (pfd) at the Earth‘s surface produced by the emissions from the SES—15 space station for all atmospheric conditions, and for all methods of modulation in the 18.3—18.8 and 19.7—20.2 GHz frequency bands (space—to—Earth), must not exceed a level of —118 dBW/m*/MHz at any angle of arrival." 12. The 29.25—29.5 GHz band is designated for uplinks for FSS systems using geostationary satellites and for feeder uplinks for Mobile Satellite Systems using non—geostationary orbit satellites on a co—primary basis. SES—15‘s operations in the 29.25—29.5 GHz band must comply with Section 25.258 of the Commission‘s rules. 47 CFR § 25.258. 13. Communications between U.S.—licensed earth stations and SES—15 in the 27.5—28.35 GHZ (Earth—to—space) frequency band are on a secondary basis with respect to LMDS until the provisions adopted in FCC 16—89 go into force. After that, communications between U.S.—licensed earth stations and SES—15 in this band are secondary with respect to Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) operations, except for FSS operations associated with earth stations authorized pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136. 14. The operations of SES—15 to and from the United States and associated earth stations must comport with the applicable uplink and downlink limits in 47 CFR § 25.140(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, unless SES coordinates any non—conforming operations with the operations of U.S.—licensed geostationary orbit space stations within 6 degrees of the 129.15° W.L. orbital location. SES must also comport with the maximum power limits indicated in its application. Non—conforming operation must also be coordinated with respect to those operations of non—U.S.—licensed space stations within 6 degrees of 129.15° W.L. involving approved communications with U.S.—licensed earth stations. 15. SES—15 is a replacement for the AMC—1 space station (Call Signs $2445) at the 129.15° W.L. location in the 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. SES—15 must begin providing service to the United States at the 129.15° W.L. orbital location in the 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to— Earth) and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands before the AMC—1 discontinues service at 129.15° W.L. Failure to meet this condition shall render this grant of market access in the 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands NULL and VOID, with no further action on the Commission‘s part. 16. This grant of market access for the SES—15 space station in the 10.7—10.95 GHz, 10.95—11.2 GHz, 11.2—11.45 GHz, 11.45—11.7 GHz, 18.3—18.8 GHz, and 19.7—20.2 GHz (space—to—Earth); and in the 27.5—28.6 GHz and 29.25—30.0 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands will be null and void with no further action on the Commission‘s part if the space station is not constructed, deployed, and placed into operation in accordance with the milestone schedule in Section 25.164 and the bond requirement in Section 25.165 ofthe Commission‘s rules following the date of grant as follows: a. SES must file a bond with the Commission in the amount of $3 million, pursuant to the procedures set forth in 47 CFR § 25.165, within 30 days of this grant of U.S. market access (August 11, 2016); Enter into a binding non—contingent contract to construct SES—15 within one year (July 12, 2017); o q C o Complete critical design review within two years (July 12, 2018); Commence constructionwithin three years (July 12, 2019); Launch and begin operations within five years (July 12, 2021). 17. This grant of market access will terminate in the event that the SES—15 space station is relocated from the 7 Footnote US255 to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 1.206, requires that the pdf across the 200 megahertz of the 18.6—18.8 GHz band not exceed —95 dBW/m*/200 MHz. SES proposes to operate the SES—15 space station with a maximum pfd lower than —118dBW/m*/MHz. This level corresponds to a maximum PFD below —95 dBW/m*/200 MHz. Consequently, SES—15‘s proposed operations meet the pfd limit in US255. SES‘s operations also meet other pdf limits for transmitting in Ka—band frequencies. Nee 47 CFR §§ 25.138(a)(6), 25.208(c), 25.208(d), and 25.208(e). Page 4 of 6

ATTACHMENT TO GRANT IBFS File No. SAT—MPL—20160718—00063 129.15° W.L. orbital location or ceases to operate. In either case, SES—15 will be removed from the Permitted List. If SES wishes to provide service to the U.S. using another space station, it must file a new application to have that space station placed on the Permitted List. 18. SES‘s request for waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules is GRANTED, as conditioned. Section 25.202(g) requires, in relevant part, that telemetry, tracking, and command signals be transmitted within the assigned bands. SES seeks waiver of this rule to operate a beacon at 3700.2 MHz, which is outside the C—band frequencies otherwise used on the satellite, to perform satellite tracking for antennas using the WAAS. This waiver grant is based upon the following findings and conclusions: a. The 3700.2 MHz frequency will be used only for satellite tracking by antennas using the WAAS; b. No other satellite within two degrees of the nominal 129° W.L. orbital location currently operates with frequencies that overlap the 3700.2 MHz beacon; c. As a condition of the grant of this waiver, SES shall coordinate TT&C operations of SES—15 at the 129.15° W.L. orbital location with all potentially affected operators of other communication systems. SES‘s TT&C operations at 3700.2 MHz shall be on a non—harmful interference basis (i.e., SES shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system). Additionally, SES must accommodate future space station networks that are compliant with Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules. 19. SES‘s request for a waiver of Section 25.210(f) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.210(f) is GRANTED.* Section 25.210(f) requires that Fixed—Satellite Service (FSS) space stations employ full frequency re—use either through orthogonal polarization in the same beam and/or the use of spatially independent beams. The purpose of the rule, applicable only to SES‘s use of the C—band frequencies which operate in an FSS frequency allocation, is to ensure that space stations maximize the use of the spectrum. Granting SES a waiver of Section 25.210(f) would not prevent other licensees‘ use of the same spectrum through orthogonal polarization, preserving the maximum utilization of the spectrum. Licensee/grantee is afforded thirty (30) days from the date of release of this action to decline the grant as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the grant as conditioned. This action is taken pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective upon release. Action December 14, 2106 Date: Term Dates From: December 14, 2016 | To: see conditions Approved: /MMlyfOud Stephen Duall Chief, Satellite Policy Branch 8 SES also requested a waiver of Section 25.210(i)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 CFR § 25.210(i)(1). This waiver request is no longer necessary. At the time SES submitted its application, Section 25.210(i)(1) required space station antennas in the FSS to be designed to meet a cross—polarization isolation of at least 30 dB within the primary coverage area of the antenna. This provision was eliminated as part of a recent Commission—level order streamlining Part 25 rules governing satellite communications.
