The Spectrum Five BSSNET2A-95W satellite will be located at the 95.15º W.L. orbital location within an E-W station-keeping maximum of ±0.05°. That satellite will not penetrate the station-keeping box of the GALAXY-3C (S2381), Intelsat 30 (S2887), and Intelsat 31 (S2924) satellites, which are co-located at 95.05º W.L. and which operate within an E-W station-keeping maximum of ±0.05° in accordance with their conditions of authorization and 47 C.F.R. § 25.210( j).1 Intelsat has confirmed 1 See Stamp Grant, Conditions of Authorization, Galaxy 3C (from 95W to 95.05W), SAT- MOD-20040405-00079 (June 15, 2004); Stamp Grant, Attachment to Grant, Authority to Launch and Operate Intelsat 30 Satellite at 95.1 W.L., SAT-LOA-20121025-00187 (Aug. 14, 2014); Stamp Grant, Attachment to Grant, Authority to Launch and Operate Intelsat 31 Satellite at 95.05 W.L., SAT-LOA-20140410-00038 (Nov. 6, 2014).
