Icu 1 IntemationaIBureau 1 -a& 4 _ mu \ 1 u- Re: Application for Special Temporary Author= Move a Direct Broadcast Satellite to, and Operate it on, the 119’ W.L. Orbital Location, File No. Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 309(c)(2)(G) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 0 309(c)(Z)(G), EchoStar Satellite Corporation (“EchoStar”) hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to move its EchoStar 5 satellite from the 1 loo W.L. orbital location to the 119’ W.L. orbital location and operate it over the channels licensed to EchoStar at 119O W.L. for a period of 30 days pending the filing of a modification application to allow regular operation. Specifically, EchoStar 5 would operate at the 119.05” W.L. orbital location. Enclosed are an FCC Form 159 and a check in the amount of $145.00 to cover applicable filing fees. Also enclosed is an additional copy, which we ask you date stamp and return with our messenger. EchoStar 5 is now located at the 110’ W.L. orbital slot. As a result of the recently granted STA request to move EchoStar 6 to that location, and the successful completion of that relocation, EchoStar 7, which uses all of the 21 DBS channels licensed to EchoStar at the 119O W.L. orbital slot, now only has a single additional satellite as back-up. That single back-up satellite is EchoStar 4, which is capable of using only a limited number of frequencies and may have to be moved to a new orbital location. Furthermore, now that EchoStar 6 is successfully relocated, EchoStar is satisfied that it does not now need a total of three satellites at 110” W.L. EchoStar also believes that the combination of EchoStar 7 and EchoStar 5 at 119” W.L. and EchoStar 8 and EchoStar 6 at 110” W.L. is at this point the most efficient allocation of these satellites between these two orbital locations. Accordingly, EchoStar wishes to move EchoStar 5 to 119’ W.L. in order to ensure sufficient redundancy at 119” W.L. and, with the EchoStar 7 satellite, share the burden of EchoStar operations at that orbital location.

Attachment EchoStar 5 - Special Temporary Authority File No. SAT-STA-20030225-00017 1) During the drift of the Echostar 5 satellite from the 110” W.L. to 119” W.L. orbital location, EchoStar Satellite Corporation (EchoStar) shall coordinate its TT&C operations with existing geostationary satellites to ensure that no unacceptable interference results from its TT&C operations; 2) EchoStar shall not operate the communications payload of the EchoStar 5 satellite while it is in drift; 3) EchoStar shall coordinate use of EchoStar 5’s command frequency with DIRECTV pursuant to the letter from DIRECTV dated February 19,2003.

CYDULOO SES-STA-200302254024 EchoStar Satellite Corporation 530 ENTERPRISE DRIVE CHEYENNE, WY LARAMIE Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSIQZ~&E,VE~ _ Fcc Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of EchoStar Satellite Corporation Application for Special Temporary Authority to Operate A Transmit/Receive Earth Station with an Additional DBS Satellite to be Located at the 119” W.L. Orbital Location REQUEST OF ECHOSTAR SATELLITE CORPORATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Pursuant to Section 309(c)(2)(G) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 9 309(c)(2)(G), EchoStar Satellite Corporation (“EchoStar”) hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”), for a period not to exceed 60 days, to operate an already licensed transmit/receive earth station located in Cheyenne, Wyoming (an antenna licensed under FCC call sign E950288) in conjunction with a satellite in the Direct Broadcast Satellite (“DBS”) service, EchoStar 5, to be moved to the 119” W.L. orbital location and operated at that location. EchoStar requests this 60-day authority pending the filing of a modification application for regular authority to operate this earth station in conjunction with EchoStar 5 at 119” W.L. The requested operation of this earth station in conjunction with EchoStar 5 - including for Telemetry, Tracking and Command (“TT&C”) communications - will serve the public interest because it will allow EchoStar to improve the efficiency of its satellite fleet deployment. At the same time, the requested operation will not cause harmful interference into any authorized user of the spectrum. By a companion request being filed today, EchoStar is applying for Special
