 Intelsat  LLC 


 Intelsat  LLC  has  filed  an  application  for  modification  of  its  authorization  for  the  INTELSAT  605  satellite.  INTELSAT  605  is 
 authorized  to  operate,  and  has  been  operating,  at  the  32.9  E.  L.  location.  Intelsat  requests  modification  of  its  license  to  relocate 
 INTELSAT  605  from  its  current  location  to  178.0  E.  L.  and  to  operate  at  that  location.  INTELSAT  605  will  be  moved  from  the 
 32.9  E.  L.  location  upon  the  transfer  of  its  traffic  to  INTELSAT  802,  which  is  planned  for  October  2004.  INTELSAT  605  is  expected 
 to  be  at  the  178.0  E.  L.  location  in  March/  April  2005.  At  its  new  location,  INTELSAT  605  will  operate  in  an  inclined  orbit  mode  in 
 the  14000-  14500,  11450-  11700,  10950-  11200,  5850-  6425,  and  3625-  4200  MHz  frequency  bands.

 SES  AMERICOM,  Inc.  has  filed  a  request  for  special  temporary  authority  to  locate  the  AMC-  15  Ku/  Ka-  band  hybrid  satellite  at  the 
 117  W.  L.  and  113  W.  L.  orbital  locations  and  to  operate  the  spacecrafts  Ka-  band  payload  and  Ku-  band  TT&  C  payload  for  a  period 
 of  two  months  at  each  of  those  locations.  SES  AMERICOM  requests  expedited  action  on  this  request.  AMC-  15,  a  Ku/  Ka-  band  satellite, 
 was  launched  on  October  15,  2004  and  is  licensed  to  operate  at  the  105  W.  L.  orbital  position.  SES  AMERICOM  is  authorized  to  test 
 the  Ku-  and  Ka-  band  payloads  of  AMC-  15  at  the  136  W.  L.  orbital  location  prior  to  commencing  operations  at  105  W.  L.  (See  File 
 No.  SAT-  STA-  20040622-  00118).  Following  the  test  period,  SES  AMERICOM  proposes  to  drift  the  AMC-  15  satellite  to  117  W.  L. 
 (with  its  Ku-  and  Ka-  band  payloads  turned  off  other  than  TT&  C  functions),  where  it  will  be  stationed  from  about  December  15,  2004 
 to  about  February  15,  2005.  Operations  from  this  location  will  use  only  the  Ka-  band  payload  and  the  Ku-  band  TT&  C  payload.  SES 
 AMERICOM  proposes  to  drift  the  AMC-  15  satellite  to  113  W.  L.  (again  with  its  Ku-  and  Ka-  band  payloads  turned  off  other  than 
 TT&  C  functions),  where  it  will  be  stationed  from  about  March  1,  2005  to  about  May  1,  2005.  Operations  from  this  location  will  use 
 only  the  Ka-  band  payload  and  the  Ku-  band  TT&  C  payload.  Finally,  SES  AMERICOM  will  drift  the  AMC-  15  satellite  to  105  W.  L. 
 (with  its  Ku-  and  Kaband  payloads  turned  off  other  than  TT&  C  functions)  in  time  to  commence  operations  over  both  its  Ku-  and 
 Ka-  band  payloads  by  May  15,  2005. 


 EchoStar  Satellite  LLC  has  filed  a  related  earth  station  application.  See  File  No.  SES-  STA-  20041019-  01564;  Call  Sign  E030038.
