Exhibit C Description of Application Pursuant to Section 25.117(c) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.117(c), SkyTerra Subsidiary LLC (“SkyTerra”) hereby requests authority to modify its earth station license to reflect the pending change in orbital location of MSAT-2 (a.k.a. AMSC- 1).1 Pursuant to this earth station license, SkyTerra is authorized to communicate with MSAT-2, which is located at 101.3°W.2 As stated in a recently filed application, SkyTerra seeks to relocate MSAT-2 to 103.3°W to make room at 101.3°W for the replacement satellite, SkyTerra 1.3 The earth station authorized under this license will communicate with MSAT-2 throughout the drift from 101.3°W to 103.3°W and afterwards for an estimated eight months, until SkyTerra 1 has been fully tested and service is transitioned to the new satellite.4 Grant of the application will enable SkyTerra to provide continuity of service to customers, which would serve the public interest. SkyTerra also requests a change in the regulatory status of the earth station license from common carrier to non-common carrier to comport with the previously approved change in the regulatory status of the MSAT-2 space segment from common carrier to non-common carrier.5 1 SkyTerra has provided in the Form 312 and accompanying exhibits only that information that is relevant to the requested modification of authorization or otherwise required by IBFS for electronic submission of the application. 2 The earth station license in the IBFS database incorrectly references “AMC-1,” rather than “AMSC-1,” as a point of communication. 3 See File No. SAT-MOD-20100412-00075. To the extent necessary, SkyTerra incorporates by reference the technical information, submitted in that proceeding, relevant to the relocation of MSAT-2. 4 No additional coordination with terrestrial operations is required for feeder link operations of MSAT-2 at 103.3°W. This location is within the orbital arc (101°W to 107°W) previously coordinated and authorized for this earth station, as reflected in the license. 5 See Stamp Grant, File No. SAT-MOD-20041124-00213 (December 6, 2006). 401966642v2
