‘ XM—2‘s current authorization expired on March 31, 2014. On March 28, 2014, the Commission granted XM
Radio‘s request for special temporary authority to extend XM 2‘s authorization for a period of 180 days to allow it
to perform maneuvers in preparation for XM—2‘s removal to a disposal orbit. The initial maneuvers drifted the space
station east to the 27° W.L. orbital location so that the westward drift of the space station that would occur during
the planned orbit—raising maneuver would not take XM—2 out of the range of XM Radio‘s TT&C earth stations and
thus lose control over the space station. See IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20140204—00018, grant stamp dated Mar. 28,
2014 (March STA), Narrative at 3. This authority was extended for an additional 30 days. See IBFS File No.
SAT—STA—20140922—00103, grant stamp dated Sept. 26, 2014.
