Although PAS‘s comments were generally supportive of RPS, and PAS did not object o the grant of Lockheed Martin‘s RPS Application, s amended, PAS nevertheless reminded Lockheed Martin and the Commission that PAS has some satelite interests at the 125° West Longitude orbital location, and that there will need to be some coordination between the two geostationary space—station operators " As the proponent of a geostationary—satellite orbit spacecraft at 125° West Longitude (such a spacecraft proposal would be considered "GSO—like"under Commission rules that went into * LockteedMarin‘s system s calledthe Regional ositoning System (‘RPS®).

: effectafter Lockheed Martin filed the RPS Amendment), Lockheed Marti is fully aware ofthe many Commission and Intemational Telecommunication Union (‘TTU‘) regulations that apply or will apply to ts use of 125° West Longitude.. Included among these regulations are stationkecping requirements (47 C.FR. § 25.210(); Nos. 22.6 to 22.10 ofthe ITU Radio Regulations) and the obligation to coordinate with certain co—frequency spacecraft (47 C.FR. §§ 25.111 and 25.272; Section II of Article 9 of the ITU Radio Regulations). With regard to PAS‘s comment concerning "unwanted emissions"from the RPS satelite‘s TT&C operations in C:—band frequencies below 3700 MHz into the current PAS 125° West Longitude satellite‘s operations in C—band fixed satelite service frequencies above 3700 MHz (see PAS Comments at 2), Lockheed Martin will comply with any applicable Commission regulations. In short, PAS does not object to the grant of Lockheed Martin‘s application for an RPS spacecraftin the RNSS at 125° West Longitude, and it anticipates the successful resolution of any outstanding minor intersystem issues. As such, PAS‘s comments interpose no impediment whatsoever to the grant of Lockheed Martin‘s RPS Application, as amended. Respectfully submited. LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION By: P Stephien D.
