    Dear Ms. Dortch:

           DISH Operating L.L.C. and EchoStar 77 Corporation hereby submit the following
   information regarding the registration of the QuetzSat-1 satellite in response to questions by staff
   of the International Bureau. After its launch, currently scheduled for September 29, 2011,
   QuetzSat-1 will be registered with the United Nations (“UN”) by the United Kingdom Space
   Agency in accordance with the UN Convention on the Registration of Objects Launched into
   Outer Space. QuetzSat-1 will then continue as a United Kingdom space object throughout its
   operational life. Therefore, the underlying liability for QuetzSat-1 will also remain with the
   United Kingdom in accordance with UN resolutions on space liability.

            Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions.
