SAT—PPL—20050708—00144 Conditions of Permitted Space Station List Grant September 9, 2005 Pursuant to Sections 303(1), 308, 309, and 310 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 303(), 308, 309, 310, and Sections 0.261 and 25.137() othe Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.261, 25.137(c), the Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed by Star One SA (File No. SAT—PPL—20050708—00144) to add the hybrid C and Ku— band Star One C2 satellte (Call Sign $2678) located at the 70.0° W.L. orbital location, which is liensed by Brazil,to the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List is GRANTED. Accordingly, each U.S.—licensed earth station with "ALSAT® designated as a point of communication,1 GRANTED authority to provide Fixed Satellite Services (FSS)in the 14.000—14.500 GHz (Earth—to—space},11.700—12.200 GHz (space—to—Barth), 5025—6425 MHz (arth—to—space) and 3700—4200 MHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands, to, from, or within the United States, by accessing the Star One C2 satellite (Call Sign $2678)at the 70.0° W.L. orbital location, in accordance with the technical specifications set forth in itspetition for declaratory ruling, this Attachment, and the Commission‘s Rules and subject tothe following conditions: a) Star One C2 is not authorized to provide any Direct—to—Home (DTH) service, Direct Broadeast Satellite (DBS) service, or Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS)to, from, or within the United States; b) Communications between ALSAT—designated routine earth stations and the Star One C2 satelite shall be in compliance with the satellte coordination agreements reached between Brazil and other administrations; ) Star One‘s request for waiver of Section 25.210(a)(3) ofthe Commission‘srulesis GRANTED as conditioned. Section 25.210 requires thatall space stations in the FSS used for domestic service in the C—band shall be capable of switching polarity upon ground command. This provision is required for two reasons: to permit U.S.—licensed satelites the fexibility to be assigned to different U.S. orbital positions and to mitigate potential iterference between adjacent FSS systems transmitting analog TV signals. The transmission polarization of the C—band payload of the Star One C2 satellite cannot be reversed from the ground. Star One indicates that it has not completed interational coordination ofthe Star One C2 with the operators ofthe adjacent satelltes serving the U.S. market. Thus, as a condition ofthis waiver, Star One is prohibited from transmitting or receiving analog TV signals to, from or within the United States until such time as it has completed coordination. Further, Star One must accommodate future satellite networks serving the United States that are two—degree compliant. Grant ofthis waiver request is consistent with our precedent;‘ and !

d) Star One‘s request for wavier of Section 25.210() of the Commission‘s rules 1S GRANTED as conditioned. Section 25.210() directs, "Space station antennas in the Fixed—Satellite Service must be designed to provide a cross—polarization isolation such that the ratio of the on axis co—polar gain to the crosspolar gain of the antenna in the assigned frequency band shall be atleast 30 dB within its primary coverage area." Star One indicates although the cross—polarization isolation of the Star One C2 satellite‘s antennas will comply with 30 dB minimum isoletion over $0% the coverage area, the isolation of the C—Band BSC anterna may be as low as 27 dB and the Ku—Band MK antenna may be as low as 28 dB in the remaining 20% of the coverage area (typically at edge of coverage). The shortfll will not produce a significant increase in interference, except to Star One C2. Further, Star One must accommodate future satellte networks serving the United States thatare two—degree compliant. Grant of this waiver requestis consistent with ou precedent." €) Star One also seeks waiver of the sections 25.211(@) and (b). Section 25.211(@) requires C—band analog video transmissions to occur at specific center frequencies and Section 25.211(b) requires carrier frequencies for Ku—band TV/FM transmissions to be identified for eoordination with adjacent U.S. satellte systems and affected satellite systems of other administrations. Star One states that it has not completed coordination with all potentiallyaffected U.S.satellte operators and thus it s not certain what center frequencies may be used for C—band and Ku—band FM/TV transmissions. Star One has agreed to provide such information after completion ofthe coordination with potentially affected U.S. satellite operators and request any necessary waivers at thattime. Under these circumstances, we find that Star One‘s failure to identify the center frequencies to \be used for C—band and Ku—band FM/TV transmissions does not preclude grant of the petitionfor declaratory ruling in this instance as we have already precluded this type of transmission. Specifically, as noted above as a condition of inclusion on the Permitted List, U.S. licensed earth stations are prohibited from transmitting or receiving FMTV transmissions from television signals from the satellte. In addition to the points discussed above, his condition will only be lifted upon the filing of a modification request that demonstrates compliance with the Commission‘srules, including section 25.21 1(a)and (b). 1 Unless extended by the Commission for good cause shown, Star One C2 shall be removed from the Permitted Space Station List in the event the space station is not constructed, launched, and successfully placed into operation in accordance with the technical parameters in its Petition for Declaratory Ruling and the terms and conditions of this grant, by the following dates: 23671, 23676 pre. 13 (2000)(eranting a watver ofsetion25 210(@(G) and imposing th same condition imposed herx) ?
