SAT-STA-20101202-00250; SAT-STA-20110201-00020; SAT-STA-20110228-00040 Dear Ms. Dortch: Earlier this year, the Commission granted GeoEye License Corp.

These grants of authority contained two conditions: (1) approval by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) of the planned OrbView-3 de-orbit and re-entry activities; and (2) written notification to the Commission within 10 business days of the completion of the OrbView-3 satellite de-orbit. Accordingly, GeoEye hereby notifies the Commission that the planned OrbView-3 de- orbit and re-entry activities have been completed, in accordance with approval granted by NOAA. GeoEye appreciates the Commission’s responsiveness and cooperation in timely issuing the above-referenced grants of special temporary authority, which helped the company complete the OrbView-3 de-orbit process within the scheduled timeframe. Please contact the undersigned should you have any questions in this matter. Respectfully, /s/ Gregg Hyde Gregg Hyde Manager, Legal & Regulatory Compliance cc: Karl Kensinger, Associate Division Chief International Bureau, Satellite Division Stephen Duall, Branch Chief International Bureau, Satellite Division
