Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 05—1647 June 10, 200 William S. Camell Latham & Watkins 555 11" Street, NW Suite 1000 Washington, DC 20004 Re: Cll Sign: E980375 SES—MOD—20050516—00509 SES—AMD—20050527—00670 Call Sign: E980376 SES—MOD—20050516—00508 SES—AMD—20050527—00671 Dear Mr. Camell: On May 16, 2005, Orbimage, Inc. ("Orbimage")filed the above—captioned applications to modify its existing Earth Stations in Dulles, VA! and Barrow, AK" to add OrbView5 as a pointof communication to transmit in the S—Band° and receive in the X—Band." On May 27,2005, Orbimage amended the applications to revise Earth Station Antenna Elevation parameters. Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) ofthe Commission‘s rules, 47 C.FR. § 25.112(@)(1), we dismiss both applications, as amended, as defective because of intermal inconsistencies in the power levels provided. Specifically, there are inconsistencies for the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) provided in the applications when compared with that derived from other data in the applications. In Item B49, you indicate that the Maximum EIRP Density per Cartier is —88.6 dBW/4 kHz. This value is less than and therefore inconsistent with the average value of +37.95 dBW/4 kHz as derived from the Maximum EIRP per carrier of 53.0 * callSign Eosos7s. * callSign E9so876. * 2002.6 Mz with 128 MHz Necessary Bandwidt. +. 210 Mite with 150 Mite Necessury Bandwidth, 8210 MiHz wih 370 Mite Necessury Bandwidthand $394 MHe with 59.7 Hte Necessay Bandwidth.

anissto pa os16t7 dBW (ltem E48) and a 128 kHe bandwidth for the S—Band emission (Item E47). Given this inconsistency, we cannot determine the actual emission power in use. While we dismiss the application on the above basis, we take the opportunity to apprise you of other concems we have should you choose to re—file the application. In addition, there are inconsistencies for the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) provided for the X—Band Receive parameters provided in the applications when compared with that derived from other data in the applications. In Item E49, you indicate that the Maximum EIRP Density per Carrier is ~145.3, —149.2, and —142.8 dBW/4 kHz for the 150MGID, 370MGID, and S9K7GID emissions, respectively. These values are less than and therefore inconsistent with the average values of 17.54, 21.46, and —16.24 dBW/4 kHHz as derived from the Maximum EIRP per carrier of +28.2, +28.2, and 4.5 dBW (ltem E48), respectively. These parameters for Items E48 and E49 are not consistent for emission parameters of a receiver. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1)° of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.ER.§ 25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegations of authority, 47 C.FR. §.0.261, we dismiss your applications, as amended, as defective without prejudice to refiling® Sincerely, BPeA Ki Seott A.
