The request of SES Americom, Inc. (doing business as "SES WORLD SKIES) (SES Americom)
for special temporary authority for a period of 150 days in order to drift its C—band space station,
SATCOM C—3 (Call Sign $2447) to 79.15° W.L. orbital location and maintain it at that location,
IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20100615—00317, is granted. Accordingly, SES Americom is
authorized, for a period of 150 days commencing on July 31, 2010, to conduct Telemetry,
Tracking, and Telecommand (TT&C) operations with the SATCOM C—3 space station necessary
to drift the SATCOM C—3 space station to the 79.15° W.L. orbital location, and to maintain
SATCOM C—3 at this location, using the following frequencies: 3700.5 MHz (Horizontal/space—
to—Earth) and 4199.5 (Vertical/space—to—Earth); and 6423.5 MHz (Horizontal/Earth—to—space).
This authorization shall be in accordance with the technical specifications set forth in SES‘s
application, the Commission‘s rules, and the following conditions:

        1.   All operations during the drift shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful
interference basis, i.e., SES Americom shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not
claim protection from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station.

        2.   In the event of any harmful interference caused by SATCOM C—3 during the drift to
the 79.15° W.L. orbital location, SES Americom shall cease operations immediately upon
notification of such interference, and shall inform the Commuission, in writing, immediately of
such an event.

      3.  During the drift to the 79.15° W.L. orbital location and while at 79.15° W.L., SES
Americom may not operate SATCOM C—3‘s communications payload.

       4. While at the 79.15° W.L. orbital location, SES Americom shall maintain the
SATCOM C—3 spacecraft with an east/west longitudinal station—keeping tolerance of +/— 0.05
degrees.

        5.   Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this
special temporary authority is solely at SES Americom‘s own risk.

        6.    SES Americom is afforded thirty days from the date of release of this grant and
authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period
will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned.

        7.   This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on
delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for
reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115 of the
Commiussion‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within 30 days of the date of the
public notice indicating that this action was taken.
