Re:        Application of Panasonic Avionics Corporation,
           File No. SES-MFS-20130930-00845 (Call Sign E100089)

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        Pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.65, and in connection
with the Commission’s request for clarification of certain orbital debris/end-of-life information
for the Superbird C2 and Apstar 7 satellites filed in the above-referenced application,1 Panasonic
Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) hereby provides updated information relating to the
Superbird C2 satellite received from the satellite operator after submission of Panasonic’s
response to the Commission’s request.2

         After further consultations, Sky Perfect JSAT (“SP-JSAT”), operator of the Superbird C2
satellite, has confirmed that the end-of-life mass of helium included in the Modification
Application and confirmed in the March 10 Letter was calculated in error. Rather than 6400
grams (6.4 kg), the actual end of life mass of helium is 640 grams, calculated using tank
volumes, temperatures and the common pressure for the system received via telemetry data.
