EchoStar has filed an application to launch EchoStar 15 and ‘ EchoStar has filed applications to add EchoStar 15 as a point of communication for the four satellites. See File No. SES—MFS—20100622—00742 (Call Sign E060003) (filed June 22, 2010); File No. SES—MFS—20100622—00743 (Call Sign EQ80120) (filed June 22, 2010); File No. SES—MFS—20100622—00744 (Call Sign E070014) (filed June 22, 2010); File No. SES—MFS— 20100622—00745 (Call Sign E980005) (filed June 22, 2010). These applications are hereby incorporated by reference. > File No. SES—MFS—20100622—00745 (Call Sign E980005) (filed June 22, 2010). The emission designator 24MOM1F would be changed to 24M0GIW. The emission designator 1MO0G2D for telecommand over the 17790.0 — 17800.0 MHz frequency band, would be added with a maximum EIRP/carrier of 35.8 dBW and maximum EIRP Density of 49.6 dBW/4kHz. This is within the parameters of the existing frequency coordination.

operate it at the 61.5° W.L. nominal orbital location (specifically 61.55° W.L.)." Testing for EchoStar 15 is scheduled be completed by August 3, 2010, and EchoStar expects to begin operations on that date. Consequently, EchoStar requests action on this request by that date. 1. GRANT OF THIS APPLICATION IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST The Commission has a long—standing policy of granting Special Temporary Authority where such authorization will not cause harmful interference and will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity." The requested operations meet both of these tests. On March 10, 2010, EchoStar filed an application for a minor modification of its DBS authorization, and authority to launch and operate its EchoStar 15 satellite at 61.55° W.L.° As explained in the EchoStar 15 Application,6 EchoStar 15 will ultimately replace EchoStar 3 and supplement EchoStar 12, which both currently operate at the nominal 61.5° W.L. orbital location. For the same reasons described in that application and incorporated herein by reference, so too will the.requested STA to operate its transmit/receive earth stations with EchoStar 15 serve the public interest. The requested earth station STA will ensure EchoStar is able to begin operating EchoStar 15 in a seamless manner, avoiding any possible disruption to consumers as programming is transferred to the EchoStar 15 satellite. II.
