SECTION 3507. 13

DESCRIPTION OF MODIFICATION APPLICATION New Skies Satellites B.V. (doing business as "SES") hereby applies to modify the declaratory ruling adding the SES—4 satellite at 22° W.L. to the Permitted Space Station List, and fhe grant of U.S. market access for extended C— and Ku—band payloads on that satellite, to update certain operating parameters previously filed with the Commission.‘ Specifically, SES updates the telemetry parameters for the SES—4 satellite to reflect two operating modes —i.e., a nominal on—station mode and an emergency mode — with maximum EIRPs of 16 dBW and 21 dBW, respectively.2 In addition, the parameters of the C—band beacon on SES—4 is updated to reflect a maximum EIRP of 19.2 dBW. These changes are more fully described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, SES is not seeking authority in this application to use SES—4‘s two 12.5 GHz telemetry carriers in the U.S. for nominal on—station TT&C, but may seek temporary authority to do so during drift maneuvers or in the event of an emergency. A complete, revised Schedule S reflecting these changes is provided with this application. No other changes are being requested at this time. Grant of this applicatioh would serve the public interest by facilitating SES‘s ability to conduct TT&C operations with SES—4 from the United States and ensure the continued safe collocation of SES—4 with NSS—7 at 22° W.L. SES—4‘s telemetry functions will continue to meet applicable powerflux density ("pfd") limits on the Earth‘s surface for the protection of co— primary services. I See Stamp Grant, File No. SAT—PPL—20110620—00112 (Call Sign $2828) (granted March 15, 2012) ("SES— 4 Access Order‘). 2 An affiliate of SES, SES Americom Inc., has obtained special temporary authority ("STA") to conduct TT&C operations with SES—4, consistent with this application. See Application, File No. SES—STA—20120329— 00321 (granted April 3, 2012).

Modification to operating parameters ofauthorized telemetry carriers. Listed below are the specific changes to the Technical Appendix sought in this application with respect to the nominal on—station and emergency operating modes for the authorized telemetry carriers for SES—4. The satellite will be operating its TT&C in nominal on—station mode while at the 22° W.L. orbital location. Emergency mode will only be used in the event of an emergency or during relocation maneuvers. e In Section 5.3, Table 5.5 should be replaced as follows (with the new text underlined): Carrier MHz ' Polarization Telecommand 1 14496.0 RHCP Telecommand 2 14499.0 RHCP Telem 1 11451.0 RHCP Telem 2. 11454.0 RHCP Telem 3 12500.5 LHCP Telem 4 12502.0 LHCP Tracking Beacon 4199.75 Table 5—5. SES—4 TT&C Frequency and Polarization Plan e In Section 5.3, the text immediately following Table 5—5 should read as follows: "It should be noted that Telemetry frequencies 1 through 4 can also be used as tracking beacon signals and switch to the opposite polarization when operated in emergency mode (i.e. through a high—power, wide angle omni—antenna). As an operational matter, SES notes that Telemetry 2 and Telemetry 3 are back—up frequencies for Telemetry 1 and Telemetry 4, respectively, and will be used only in the event that there are problems with the respective primary telemetry frequencies." e In Section 5.3, the last two sentences of the section should read as follows: "The emission designators associated with the TT&C subsystem are 800KFID for command, 300KFID for telemetry and the Ku—band beacon, and 25KONON for the C—band tracking beacons. The associated allocated bandwidth is 800 kHz, 300 kHz and 25 kHz for each of these emissions, respectively." e In Section 7.3, the paragraph should read as follows: "The TT&C coverage for nominal on—station operation will be provided by the receive communications antenna for command and by the earth facing horn transmit communications antenna for telemetry.

In emergency mode, the telemetry will be provided in the opposite polarization through a high—power, wide—angle omni antenna. There are two such omni antennas on the spacecraft, one on the nominal, earth facing side and another on the opposite side of the spacecraft. The receive and transmit antenna beam patterns for nominal on—station and emergency operations are given in GXT format in the accompanying Schedule S (see also Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above)." e In Section 10, Tables 10—80, 10—81, and 10—82 should be revised as follows: 3.8 —170.0 50 —150.0 —163.3 37 —169.8 19.8 10° —147.5 —163.2 —3.6 —169.6 22.A 15° —145.0 —163.0 —3.5 —169.3 343 20° —142.5 —162.9 34 —169.1 26.6 25° —140.0 —162.8 32 —168.8 28.8 (1396(;1) —140.0 1624 0.0 —164.9 24.9 Table 10—80.

Table 17—130. TT&C carrier frequencies of SES—4 and NSS—5 and the closest frequency separation of each NSS—5 TT&C carrier from the SES—4 TT&C carriers In Section 17.5, the paragraph following Table 17—130 should be revised as follows: "It can be seen from the Table that there are no direct frequency overlaps between any of the TT&C carriers. Nevertheless there are two cases where the frequency separation between some telemetry/beacon frequencies of SES—4 (TM1 and TM3) are separated by 1 MHz or less from some NSS—5 beacon frequencies (BCN3 and BCNS5). Therefore a C/I analysis is provided in Table 17—131 for a worse case scenario, where it is assumed that the telemetry/beacon frequencies are co—frequency and operating in the same polarization. For this analysis a C/Nthreshold for the beacon operations was assumed to be 0 dB and the C/I protection criteria was assumed to be 14 dB (based on NSS—5 Schedule S information). Receive antenna sizes of 1.8m and 2.4 were assumed. From the Schedule S information for NSS—5, it can be derived that the downlink EIRP of the beacon signals is 6 dBW for EOC, whereas for the SES—4 telemetry/beacon the downlink is 11.6 dBW at EOC. A difference in downlink EIRP of 5.6 dB is therefore assumed between these two beacons." In Section 17.5, Table 17—131 should be replaced as follows: Frequency(MHz) 11452 12501 Rx Antenna Size (m) 1.8 2.4 1.8 2.4 Rx Antenna Gain |(dBi)| 44.8 47.3 45.6 48.1 Off—Axis gain |(dBi)| 21.0 21.0 21.0 21.0 Discrimination | (dB) 23.8 26.3 24.6 27.1 Delta EIRP (dB)| —5.6 —5.6 ~5.6 —5.6 E/ _ (dB) 18.2 20.7 19.0 21.5 Threshold _ (dB) 14.0 14.0 14.0 14.0 Margin _ __ (dB)| 4.2 6.7 5.0 7.5 Table 17—131. Overview of C/I margins (dB) for SES—4 beacon interference into NSS—5 beacons in Ku—band In Section 17.5, the paragraph following Table 17—131 should be revised as follows: "It can be seen from the analysis in the above table that all C/I margins are positive, and that there is therefore no interference from the SES—4 TT&C carriers at 22° W .L. in nominal on—station mode into the NSS—5 TT&C carriers at 20° W.L. If it becomes necessary to operate temporarily in emergency mode (e.g., during drift or in an emergency), the C/I margins will be negative, and SES will coordinate with adjacent satellite operators, as necessary." The heading of Section 17.8 should read as follows: "Analysis of the interference of the SES—4 TT&C carriers into the communication and TT&C carriers of a bhypothetical satellite at 24°W.L. having the same transmission parameters as the SES—4 satellite"

In Section 17.8, the paragraph immediately before Table 17—138 should be revised as follows: "It is assumed that SES—4 has a hypothetical neighbor at an orbital separation of 2°, with the same TT&C transmission parameters as the SES—4 satellite. The interference between the two systems then is only in the TT&C carriers. Table 17—138 shows the interference analysis for the telecommand carriers whereas Table 17—139 shows the interference analyses for the telemetry and beacon carriers operating in nominal on—station mode and emergency mode. All C/I margins in the analyses are positive." In Section 17.8, Table 17—139 should be replaced as follows: TM1 (TLM) |TM1 (OMNI) TM1 (OMNI)| _ ; SES—4 Nominal emergency emergency | BNC1 Downlink EIRP (EOC) | _(dBw) 11.6 20.0 20.0 16.1 § > : TM1 (TLM)| TM1 (TLM) |TM1 (OMNI)| __ ' Hypothetical satellite Nominal Nominal emergency BNC1 Downlink EIRP (EOC) (dBW}) 11.6 11.6 20.0 16.1 Receive earth station size {m) 9.0 9.0 9.0 3.7 Receive earth station gain (dBi) 58.8 58.8 58.8 41.9 Receive earth station off—axis (dBi) 21.0 21.0 21.0 21.0 Required C/N (dB) 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Required C/l (dB) 14.0 14.0 14.0 14.0 Interference analysis Calculated C/l (dB) 37.8 29.4 37.8 20.9 Margin (dB) 23.8 15.4 23.8 6.9 Table 17—139.
