QUESTION 43 EXHIBIT - DESCRIPTION NARRATIVE


                           Astrium Services Government, Inc.

                      Application to Modify KA304 License to
                 Add Authorizations for the Following Hub Antennas
         Which are Currently Authorized per the WB36 and KA313 Licenses:
                 Vertex 9 Meter Transmit/Receive Ku-Band Antenna,
                Vertex 8.1 Meter Transmit/Receive Ku-Band Antenna,
                Vertex 6.1 Meter Transmit/Receive Ku-Band Antenna,
          Prodelin 1.2 Meter Transmit/Receive Ku-Band Antenna (2 units),
               Vertex 9 Meter Transmit/Receive Ku-Band Antenna and
       General Dynamics Satcom 4.8 Meter Transmit/Receive Ku-Band Antenna

                        Southbury, CT Teleport Call Sign KA304

                         FILE NO. SES-RWL-20110727-00888

        By this application Astrium Services Government, Inc. (ASGI) respectfully
requests that the authorizations for the above described Ku-Band earth stations which are
currently authorized per ASGI’s Southbury, CT call sign WB36 and KA313 earth station
licenses be added to its KA304 license. The reason that this is being requested is that in
addition to the authorizations for these hub antennas the WB36 and KA313 licenses also
contain authorizations for numerous Remote Earth Stations On Vessels (ESV) antennas.
ASGI needs to separate the authorizations for the hub antennas from the ESV
authorizations as it is in the process of divesting the Southbury teleport and certain hub
antenna assets at that location to another teleport operator. Because ASGI will continue
to operate the ESV network, it is necessary to move the authorizations for the hub
antennas to another license so that ASGI may request the Commission to assign the
license containing the authorizations for the hub antennas to the prospective new teleport
owner while ASGI keeps the licenses containing the ESV authorizations.

        All technical specifications and operating parameters for the Ku-Band hub
antennas are set forth in the Schedule B which is being filed with the Application. No
change is being requested to any of the authorizations which are set forth for these
antennas in the WB36 and KA313 licenses. Except for refinement of the response to E11
of Schedule B specifying the latitude and longitude of the antennas, the information set
forth in Schedule B is a replication of that which is set forth for the authorizations for
those antennas in the WB36 and KA313 licenses and ASGI respectfully hereby
incorporates by reference the various exhibits previously submitted to the Commission in
support of the prior WB36 and KA313 applications which were the basis for those
authorizations. Any questions with respect to this matter may be directed to James G.
Lovelace at (301) 838-7839.
