              I.    Supplemental Schedule S Technical Information

   1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE


The purpose of this Attachment is to provide the Commission with the technical
characteristics of the EUTELSAT 65 WEST A (“E65WA”) satellite in support of the earth
station application filed by United Teleports.       This attachment, prepared with the
cooperation of the satellite operator Eutelsat do Brasil LTDA (“Eutelsat”), contains
information required by the Commission that cannot be entered online into the Schedule S
submission.


   2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION


Eutelsat operates the E65WA satellite at the nominal 65° W.L. location. The satellite is
capable of providing a wide range of FSS services using the C-, Ku- and Ka-bands. For
purposes of the instant application, U.S. market access is being sought only for Ku-band
uplink frequencies. Accordingly, only the characteristics of the Ku-band payload are
described herein and in the Schedule S submission.


The Ku-band frequencies used by the satellite are the International Telecommunications
Union (“ITU”) Appendix 30B bands: 12.75-13.25 GHz uplink band and the 10.7-10.95
GHz and 11.2-11.45 GHz downlink bands. The satellite employs twenty-four 36 MHz
Ku-band transponders. There are two Ku-band beams in both the uplink and downlink
directions: the “South American” beam, which includes coverage of southern Florida,
and the Brazil beam. Twelve transponders are switchable between the South American
and Brazil beams.


   3. FREQUENCY PLAN AND POLARIZATION


The E65WA satellite’s Ku-band frequency and polarization plan, including beam
connectivity options, are provided in the associated Schedule S submission. The satellite



                                            2


provides full frequency reuse as required by Section 25.210(f) of the Commission’s rules,
47 C.F.R. § 25.210(f)


   4. SPACE STATION TRANSMIT & RECEIVE CAPABILITIES


The transmit and receive antenna gain contours of the satellite’s Ku-band beams are
provided in GXT format and are embedded in the associated Schedule S submission.
The maximum EIRP and EIRP densities for each of the downlink beams are listed in
Table 1. Also listed are the maximum and minimum saturating flux-density (“SFD”)
levels, referenced at the beam peak, for each of the uplink beams.

In addition, authorized uplink transmissions towards the E65WA satellite will not exceed
an input power density of -47 dBW/Hz. The E65WA satellite network will be operated
in a manner consistent with ITU coordination agreements reached by Brazil.


   5. ARRANGEMENT FOR TELEMETRY, TRACKING &
       COMMUNICATIONS


Telemetry, tracking and communications (“TT&C”) will not be conducted from U.S.
territory. The satellite control center and primary TT&C site is located in Brazil. The
backup TT&C site is located in Portugal.

    6. POWER FLUX DENSITY ANALYSIS


The Commission’s Part 25 rules do not contain power flex density (“PFD”) limits
applicable to the ITU Appendix 30B downlink bands at 10.7-10.95 GHz and 11.2-11.45
GHz. However, it is noted that Article 21 of the ITU Radio Regulations includes PFD
limits that are applicable to GSO satellites using these bands.       The ITU limits are
identical to those of Section 25.208(b) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25208(b).


Tables 2 and 3 show the PFD levels that will occur at various angles of arrival for the two
downlink beams when transmitting with a maximum downlink EIRP density of -23
dBW/Hz. These two tables demonstrate compliance with the ITU’s Article 21 PFD
limits.

   7. TWO-DEGREE COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS


This section demonstrates that the E65WA satellite network’s operations are two-degree
compatible.


Currently there are no operational Ku-band satellites two degrees away from the nominal
65° W.L. location using the Appendix 30B bands, nor are there any pending applications
before the Commission requesting to use the Ku-band at a location two degrees or less
from the nominal 65° W.L. location. In order to demonstrate two-degree compatibility,
the transmission parameters of the E65WA satellite network have been used as both the
wanted and interfering transmissions.


Table 4 provides a summary of the typical transmission parameters used by the E65WA
satellite network and which were used in the interference analysis.


Table 5 shows the results of the interference calculations in terms of the overall C/I
margins. The interference calculations assume a 1 dB advantage for topocentric-to-
geocentric conversion, all wanted and interfering carriers are co-polarized and all earth
station antennas conform to a sidelobe pattern of 29-25 log(θ). The C/I calculations were
performed on a per Hz basis.


These tables indicate that all the C/I margins are positive, thereby demonstrating the two-
degree compatibility of the E65WA satellite network.

             8. ORBITAL DEBRIS MITIGATION PLAN


                   8.1 Spacecraft Hardware Design


Eutelsat confirms that the E65WA satellite, based on the Space Systems Loral 1300
series spacecraft, will not undergo any planned release of debris during its operation.
Furthermore, all separation and deployment mechanisms, and any other potential source
of debris, will be retained by the spacecraft.


In conjunction with Space Systems Loral, Eutelsat has assessed and limited the
probability of the satellite becoming a source of debris by collisions with small debris or
meteoroids of less than one centimeter in diameter that could cause loss of control and
prevent post-mission disposal. Eutelsat has taken steps to limit the effects of such
collisions through shielding, the placement of components, and the use of redundant
systems.


The EW65A satellite includes separate TT&C and propulsion subsystems that are
necessary for end-of-life disposal. The spacecraft TT&C system, vital for orbit raising, is
extremely rugged with regard to meteoroids smaller than 1 cm, by virtue of its
redundancy, shielding, separation of components and physical characteristics. Omni-
directional antennas are mounted on opposite sides of the spacecraft. These antennas are

                                                 7


extremely rugged and capable of providing adequate coverage even if struck, bent or
otherwise damaged by a small or medium sized particle. Either one of the two omni-
directional antennas, for both command and telemetry, will be sufficient to enable orbit
raising.


The redundant command receivers and decoders and redundant telemetry encoders and
transmitters are located within a shielded area. A single rugged thruster and shielded
propellant tank provides the energy for orbit-raising. Otherwise, there are no single
points of failure in the system.


             8.2 Minimizing Accidental Explosions


In conjunction with Space Systems/Loral, Eutelsat has assessed and limited the
probability of accidental explosions during and after completion of mission operations.
The satellite manufacturer has taken steps to ensure that debris generation will not result
from the conversion of energy sources on board the satellite into energy that fragments
the satellite.


In particular, the satellite manufacturer advises that burst tests are performed on all
pressure vessels during qualification testing to demonstrate a margin of safety against
burst. Bipropellant mixing is prevented by the use of valves that prevent backwards flow
in propellant lines and pressurization lines. All batteries and fuel tanks are monitored for
pressure and temperature. Excessive battery charging or discharging is limited by a
monitoring and control system which will automatically limit the possibility of
fragmentation.


Corrective action, if not automatically undertaken, will be immediately undertaken by the
spacecraft operator to avoid destruction and fragmentation. Thruster temperatures,
impulse and thrust duration are carefully monitored, and any thruster may be turned off
via redundant valves. Consequently, there is no possibility of explosion during the



                                              8


operating mission. Space Systems/Loral has also conducted a failure mode effects and
criticality analysis as part of the design process.


In order to ensure that the spacecraft has no explosive risk after it has been successfully
de-orbited, all stored energy onboard the spacecraft will be removed. Upon successful
de-orbit of the spacecraft, all propulsion lines and latch valves will be vented and left
open. Battery chargers will be turned off and all batteries will be left in a permanent
discharge state.


            8.3 Safe Flight Profiles


In considering current and planned satellites that may have a station-keeping volume that
overlaps the E65WA satellite, Eutelsat has reviewed the lists of FCC licensed satellite
networks, as well as those that are currently under consideration by the FCC. In addition,
satellite networks for which a request for coordination has been published by the ITU
within ±0.2 degrees of 65.2° W.L. have also been reviewed.


The Brazilian satellite operator Star One operates the STAR ONE C1 satellite at the 65.0°
W.L orbital location. The satellite operates with an east-west station-keeping tolerance of
±0.05°. The E65WA satellite operates at 65.2° W.L, and with an east-west station-
keeping tolerance of ±0.05°, thereby eliminating the possibility of any station-keeping
volume overlap with the STAR ONE C1 satellite.


There are no pending applications before the Commission requesting authorization to use
an orbital location within ±0.2° of 65.2° W.L. and Eutelsat is not aware of any satellite
with an overlapping station-keeping volume with the E65WA satellite that is the subject
of an ITU filing and that is either in orbit or progressing towards launch.


Based on the preceding discussion, Eutelsat concludes that physical coordination of the
E65WA satellite with another party is not required at the present time.



                                               9


              8.4 Post-Mission Disposal Plan


At the end of the operational life of the E65WA satellite, it will be maneuvered to a
disposal orbit with a minimum perigee of 300 km above the normal GSO operational
orbit. This proposed disposal orbit altitude is based on the following calculation, as
required by Section 25.283:

           Total Solar Pressure Area “A” = 97.5 m2
           “M” = Dry Mass of Satellite = 2757.5 kg
           “CR” = Solar Pressure Radiation Coefficient = 1.24


Therefore, the Minimum Disposal Orbit Perigee Altitude is:

                  =       36,021 km + 1000 x CR x A/M
                  =       36,021 km + 1000 x 1.24 x 97.5/2757.5
                  =       36,035 km
                  =       279 km above GSO (35,786 km)

To provide margin, the nominal disposal orbit will be increased to 300 km. This will
require 10.8 kg of propellant that will be reserved, taking account of all fuel measurement
uncertainties, to perform the final orbit-raising maneuvers.

    9. ITU Filings

gateway earth station antenna transmitting in the 12.75-13.25 GHz band. This report is
developed in accordance with the prediction methods contained in OET Bulletin No. 65,
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, Edition 97-01.

Bulletin No. 65 specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are
dependent on the area of exposure and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to
the exposure -- the General Population/Uncontrolled Environment and the Controlled
Environment, where the general population cannot access.

The maximum level of non-ionizing radiation to which individuals may be exposed is
limited to a power density level of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter (5 mW/cm2)
averaged over any 6 minute period in a controlled environment, and the maximum level
of non-ionizing radiation to which the general public is exposed is limited to a power
density level of 1 milliwatt per square centimeter (1 mW/cm2) averaged over any 30
minute period in a uncontrolled environment.

In the normal range of transmit powers for satellite antennas, the power densities at or
around the antenna surface are expected to exceed safe levels. The purpose of this study
is to determine the power flux density levels for the earth station under study as
compared with the MPE limits. This comparison is done in each of the following regions:

   1.   Far-field region
   2.   Near-field region
   3.   Transition region
   4.   The region between the subreflector or feed and main reflector surface
   5.   The main reflector region
   6.   The region between the antenna edge and the ground

Behavior of EM Fields as a Function of Distance

The behavior of the characteristics of EM fields varies depending on the distance from
the radiating antenna. These characteristics are analyzed in three primary regions: the
near-field region, the far-field region and the transition region. Of interest also are the
region between the antenna main reflector and the subreflector, the region of the main
reflector area and the region between the main reflector and ground.




Figure 1. EM Fields as a Function of Distance




                                                12


For parabolic aperture antennas with circular cross sections, such as the antenna under
study, the near-field, far-field and transition region distances are calculated as follows:

Parameter                                      Value       Unit       Formula
Near-Field Distance                            531.2        m         Rnf = D2/(4λ)
Distance to Far-Field                          1275         m         Rff = 0.60D2/(λ)
Minimum Transition Region Distance             531.2        m         Rt = Rnf

The distance in the transition region is between the near and far fields. Thus, Rnf < Rt <
Rff. However, the power density in the transition region will not exceed the power
density in the near-field. Therefore, for purposes of the present analysis, the distance of
the transition region can equate the distance to the near-field.

Power Flux Density Calculations

The power flux density is considered to be at a maximum through the entire length of the
near-field. This region is contained within a cylindrical volume with a diameter, D, equal
to the diameter of the antenna. In the transition region and the far-field, the power density
decreases inversely with the square of the distance. The following equations are used to
calculate power density in these regions.

Parameter                                        Value       Unit      Symbol         Formula
Power Density in the Near-Field                  6.15       mW/cm2       Snf       16.0 η P/(πD2)
Power Density in the Far-Field                   2.63       mW/cm2       Sff        GP/(4π Rff2)
Power Density in the Transition Region           6.15       mW/cm2       St         Snf Rnf /(Rt)

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed towards the subreflector surface and
are reflected back towards the main reflector. The energy between the subreflector and
main reflector can be determined by calculating the power density at the subreflector
surface.

Parameter                                      Value        Unit       Symbol     Formula
Power Density at the Subreflector              1369        mW/cm2        Sfa      4P / a

The power density in the main reflector is determined similarly to the power density
calculation at the subreflector, except that the area of the reflector is used.

Parameter                                Value           Unit       Symbol       Formula
Power Density at Main Reflector           10.4          mW/cm2      Ssurface      4P / A

The power density between the reflector and ground, assuming uniform illumination of
the reflector surface, is calculated as follows:

Parameter                                      Value        Unit    Symbol        Formula
Power Density b/w Reflector and
Ground                                           2.60      mW/cm2     Sg            P/A

                                             13


The table below summarizes the calculated power density levels for each region and
compares those levels to those allowed in an occupational/controlled environment.

The results show that a potential radiation hazard exists in the regions noted above. The
applicant has taken proper measures to ensure that it meets the requirements specified in
47 C.F.R. § 1.1310.

Specifically, the antenna is installed at the United Teleports facility in Port St. Lucie,
Florida, and is an occupational/controlled environment. The facility is located within an
enclosed walled courtyard, which restricts any public access. The earth station is marked
with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as is the area in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one
diameter away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE
limits. Since one diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are
down at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

Finally, the earth station’s operational personnel will not have access to the regions where
the MPE levels are exceeded when the earth station is in operation. As a matter of
procedure, the transmitter will be turned off during periods of antenna maintenance,
thereby eliminating any potential radiation hazard.

1. CONCLUSIONS



An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment.
Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations.

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS


A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective
on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS
TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal
levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.
