Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application by SES AMERICOM, INC. File No. SAT—STA— For Special Temporary Authority to Test AMC—23 at 170° W.L APPLICATION OF SES AMERICOM, INC. By this application, SES Americom, Inc. (‘SES Americom‘) respectfully requests special temporary authority (STA") to permit it t test its AMC—23 spacecraft at 170° W.L. for a period of up to 120 days following launch. Launch of the spacecraft is currently scheduled for December 2005. As discussed below, temporary operation of AMC—23 at 170° W.L. will permit testing to occur without disruption to existing customers at 172° EL. and will not adversely affect the operation of any other carrier‘s spacecraf. AMC—23 is a C/KuExtended Ku—band satellite that is licensed to operate at 172° E.L.\ AMC—23 will replace SES Americom‘s Satcom SN—4 spacecraft, which currently operates at 172° E.L. in the C: and Ku—bands. The testing of AMC—23 at 170° W.L. will not cause harmful interference to other spacecraft. No commercial C or Ku—band satellites operate within six degrees of the 170° W.L. position. . See File No. SAT—LOA—20031218—00358, granted July 13, 2004.

SES Americom‘s request to test AMC—23 at the 170° W.L. orbital position is in the public interest. By testing AMC—23 at this location, SES Americom will be able to ensure that AMC—23 is fully operational at the time it arrives at its final orbital location, thereby avoiding any interruption in service that otherwise might be associated with spacecraft testing. SES Americom seeks authority to test AMC—23 subject to the following conditions: (a) SES Americom will coordinate its test operations with all potentially affected operating satellite networks. (b) No harmful interference will be caused to any lawully operating radiocommunication systems, and SES Americom operations will cease immediately upon notification of such harmful interference. Further, SBS Americom shall notify the Commission in writing that it has received such a notification within 3 days of receipt. (¢) SBS Americom will accept interference from any lawfully operating satellite network or radiocommunication system. (d)_ Testing authority is limited to the frequencies for which the AMC—23 satellite is authorized. (e)— The authorization is subject to change in any of its terms or cancellation in its entirety at any time upon reasonable notice, but without hearing, ifin the opinion of the Commission, circumstances should require. (D The temporary authority will commence on the date SES Americom launches AMG—23, currently scheduled to occur in December 2005, and terminate 120 days after the launch date. (&) The temporary authority is only for testing purposes and shall not be used for the provision of commercial service. (1) Anyextension of this temporary authority must be requested and approved in writing.

) SBS Americom will notify the Commission in writing no later than seven days after it has completed testing of AMC—23 and commenced the move of AMC—23 to its assigned orbital location of 172° E.L. () SES Americom shall coordinate its Tracking, Telemetry, Command, and Monitoring (TTC&M) operations with existing geostationary satellites to ensure that no unacceptable interference results from its TTC&M operations during the drift from 170° W.L. to its assigned orbital location of 1° EL SES Americom hereby certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of federal benefits pursuant to Section 5801 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § 862. Por the foregoing reasons, SES Americom respectfully requests special temporary authority to test AMC—23 at 170° W.L.for a period of up to 120 days, commencing upon the launch ofAMC—23. Grant of the requested authority will permit testing of the spacecraft to occur withoutaffecting services to customers and will permit a seamless transition of services. SES Americom is preparing to launch AMC—23 in December 2005, and requests action on this application to accommodate that schedule. Respectfully submitted, SES Americom, Inc. By: /s/ Naney J. Eshenasi Nancy J. Eskenazi Of Counsel Vice President and Peter A. Rohrbach Associate General Counsel Karis A. Hastings SES Americom, Inc. Hogan & Hartson LL.P.
