                                                                                        Page 1 of 2

                                          APPLICATION

       SES Government Solutions, Inc. (“SES-GS”) requests modification of its license for earth
station call sign KE27 in Monterey, California to update the coordinates. Pursuant to
Section 25.117(c) of the Commission’s rules, SES-GS is providing herein information that is
changing as a result of the modification and certifies that the remaining information reflected in
the KE27 license has not changed.
       The Commission has stated that in order to improve the accuracy of the International
Bureau Filing System (“IBFS”), it recommends that earth station licensees use World Geodetic
System 1984 (“WGS84”) datum to specify site coordinates and has suggested that applicants
for renewal or modification of earth station licenses provide coordinates based on WGS84. 1 For
call sign KE27, the coordinates according to WGS84 are as follows:
               36° 35' 33.3" N, 121° 51' 08.3" W
SES-GS has supplied these coordinates in items E11 and E12 of the Form 312 Schedule B.
       Below is a Google Earth screen shot confirming the presence of the two licensed
antennas at these coordinates.

                                                                                       Exhibit A
                                                                                     Page 2 of 2




       This modification merely reflects an update to WGS84 coordinates for an earth station
that has been licensed and operational since the late 1970’s. No other change to the license is
being sought. Furthermore, there have been no complaints regarding interference relating to
the operations of KE27, nor has SES-GS experienced unacceptable interference. Because the
earth station has been successfully operating since it was originally coordinated and licensed,
no new coordination report should be required.
