• Intelsat also received STA for 30 days to continue to conduct TT&C necessary to drift Intelsat 5 from 169.0 degrees EL to 65.45 degrees EL using specified Ku-band frequencies.
• SES Americom was granted STA for 60 days to operate AMC-5 at 80.85 degrees WL, rather than 80.90 degrees WL, and continue to provide FSS including direct-to-home services using 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space); and (3) change the east-west station-keeping tolerance of AMC-5 from ±0.1 degrees to ±0.15 degrees.
• The Satellite Division granted STA to Iridium Constellation LLC for 180 days to continue to operate three satellites in its non-geostationary orbit constellation in a manner consistent with a revised post-mission disposal plan proposed in its pending license modification application in IBFS File SAT-MOD-20080701-00140.
