[KAHastings@HHLAW.com|] 2251831AmefiCofiflngQflo?ssas-fiamg 182007000569 Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 1:28 PM AMC—16 To: Andrea Kelly; Mark Young Co: Nancy.Eskenazi@ses—americom.com Subject: RE: AMC—16 STA Request (File No. SAT—STA—20070306—00043) Importance: High Andrea & Mark, SES Americom has reached agreement with SatMex on coordination of the proposed temporary operations of AMC—16 at the nominal 113° W.L. orbital location. Specifically, SES Americom has accepted all of the edits SatMex made to the most recent version of the coordination document. The agreement is based on operations of AMC—16 at 113.075° W.L., consistent with SES Americom‘s original proposal and the terms of the STA request. With respect to the schedule for relocation, we have been advised that testing of Anik F3 is finished, and that the transfer of traffic from AMC—16 has been completed. Thus, SES Americom would be ready to begin moving the spacecraft as early as tomorrow, May 1, which would result in shifting the dates in the schedule below one day earlier. Please let me know if you have any further questions. We would like to commence relocation of the satellite as soon as possible now that traffic transfer has occurred. Best, Karis From: Hastings, Karis A. Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 7:29 PM To: ‘Andrea Kelly‘; Mark Young Co: Nancy.Eskenazi@ses—americom.com Subject: RE: AMC—16 STA Request (File No. SAT—STA—20070306—00043) Andrea & Mark, I apologize for not updating you earlier today, but things have been in flux. SatMex sent us a response to our coordination proposal late today, but for the first time suggested in their proposal that we operate AMC—16 on the East side of 113 W.L. (In the STA request, we indicated that subject to coordination, we planned to operate AMC—16 on the West side at 113.075, which is the orbital location we had agreed to with SatMex when AMC—15 operated there.) Our folks called SatMex to suggest that we go back to the original proposal of 113.075, and they are discussing it internally. At this point we are cautiously optimistic that they will agree, but we will let you know as soon as we have a final answer. My understanding is that all the other parameters of the operation have been agreed to (frequencies, exchange of stationkeeping data, contact personnel, etc.), so the only unresolved issue is the precise orbital location. Let me know if you have questions. Best, Karis From: Andrea Kelly [mailto:Andrea.Kelly@fcc.gov] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 6:28 PM To: Hastings, Karis A.

[mailto:KAHastings@HHLAW.com|] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 5:27 PM To: Andrea Kelly; Mark Young Co: Nancy.Eskenazi@ses—americom.com Subject: AMC—16 STA Request (File No. SAT—STA—20070306—00043) Andrea & Mark, SES Americom hereby provides additional information regarding its above—referenced request for special temporary authority for AMC—16 to operate at the nominal 113° W.L. and 97° W.L. orbital locations. Coordination of Ku—band TT&C: As we previously discussed, coordination of the proposed operations at 97° W.L. with Intelsat has already occurred, and the parties agreed that their spacecraft operations personnel would handle the details of the planned operations. Coordination of the proposed operations at 113° W.L. with SatMex is also well underway. SES Americom has provided SatMex with full technical details of the proposed operations. SES Americom advised SatMex that it is seeking an agreement here substantially similar to the SES Americom—SatMex coordination agreement pursuant to which AMC—15 operated temporarily at 113° W.L. in 2005. SatMex has advised SES Americom that it does not anticipate any issues here, particularly given the short duration of the proposed operations. We currently expect to have a coordination agreement completed by early next week, and we will advise the Commission once that has been completed. customer EchoStar concerning its preferred schedule for AMC—16: 2 May Commence drift to 113 Drift rate 5 deg/6 days or ~1 deg/day 8 May At 113 On station ~10 days 18 May Commence drift to 97 Drift rate 16 deg/17 days or ~1 deg/day 4 June At 97 On station ~10 days 14 June Commence drift to 85 Drift rate 12 deg/12 days or ~1 deg/day 26 June At 85 Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this information.
