Re:    Star One S.A. Petition for Declaratory Ruling To Add the Star One C1
       Satellite at 65O W.L. to the Permitted Space Station List;
       Call Sign S2611, File No. SAT-PPL-20031230-00367

Dear Ms. Dortch:

       Star One S.A. ("Star One") hereby submits the following additional information for association
                                                            '
with the above-referenced petition for declaratory ruling. Star One seeks to clarify the certain technical
information regarding the Star One C 1 satellite's Ku-band frequency usage and certain emission
designators.

        The Technical Appendix submitted with the Star One C1 petition for declaratory ruling
inadvertently failed to include emission designators for requested FWTV transmissions, as well as
certain technical information regarding tlie satellite's Ku-band beacon signals. A&achients 1 and 2
hereto provide updated emission designators and Ku-band beacon information for association with the
Technical Appendix.

        Star One also seeks to clarify the Ku-band frequencies to be used by the Star One C1 satellite for
service to the United States. In addition to Ku-band beacons at 11701 MHz and 12199 MHz, the Star
One C1 satellite can provide service to the United States in the 14184-14256 MHz and 14424-14496
MHz (uplink) and 11884-11956 MHz and 12124-12196 MHz (downlink) bands. Although this
information can be discerned by reference to the frequency tables and beam coverage maps in the
Technical Appendix, Star One wishes to confirm separately the Ku-band frequency requirements of the
Star One C1 satellite.

       'Star One S.A. Petition for Declaratory Ruling To Add the Star One C1 Satellite at 65' W.L. to
the Permitted Space Station List, File No. SAT-PPL-20031230-00367 (rel. Dec. 30,2003).

k. Ku-Band Beacons

   Two Ku-band downlink communications beacons will be continuously transmitted by the
   satellite and used by earth stations operators as a calibrated reference to compensate for
   rain attenuation and to adjust antenna pointing. These communication beacons will be
   transmitted via two global horns, one for each polarization, and will be available anywhere
   within the satellite's Ku-band coverage areas. The Ku-band beacon link budget is given in
   Table 18.
