Pursuant to Section 27.1412(d) of the Commission’s rules,1 Eutelsat S.A. (“Eutelsat”) hereby submits this Revised Transition Plan incorporating updated information and feedback from the Commission staff in describing the process it intends to follow to effect the relocation of its fixed-satellite service customers out of the 3.7-4.0 GHz band in the contiguous United States (“CONUS”), as required by the Commission’s C-band Order in the above-captioned proceeding. Eutelsat has separately filed a Petition for Expedited Reconsideration or Clarification, in which it has requested that the Commission confirm that eligible replacement satellite costs are limited to satellites operating only in the 4.0-4.2 GHz band (and corresponding uplink band) and covering only the CONUS. Eutelsat further requested that the Commission requires each such subsidized satellite to serve the CONUS for the duration of its useful life, and that the Commission specifically clarifies that the costs of spare satellites and “backup” launches are ineligible.2 Eutelsat continues to urge the Commission to act on that Petition, in order to bring greater clarity and consistency to the process under which C-band satellite operators are developing these Transition Plans. 1 47 C.F.R.

  • Classification of Geosynchronous Objects
    esoc European Space Operations Centre Robert-Bosch-Strasse 5 D-64293 Darmstadt Germany T +49 (0)6151 900 www.esa.int CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS Produced with the DISCOS Database Prepared by ESA’s Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00211-OPS-GR Issue 20 Revision 0 Date of Issue 28 May 2018 Status Issued Document Type Technical Note Distribution ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution European Space Agency Agence spatiale europeenne´ Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2018. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1582.

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Communication, Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz Band, GN Docket No. 18-122 Dear Ms. Dortch: Trinity Broadcasting Network (“TBN”) and LPN Spectrum LLC (“LPN”) jointly file these ex parte comments in the above-captioned proceeding in support of the Commission’s efforts to repurpose part of the C-band for 5G terrestrial use. The next generation of wireless technology promises to be a significant driver of economic growth and opportunity in a variety of industrial sectors and will change nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Repurposing part of the C-band for wireless broadband services while balancing the need to support incumbent operations is key to capturing the enormous value that 5G will bring to American businesses and consumers alike. This proceeding will help position the United States as the global leader in the race to 5G. With initial aspirations to “serve[] the interests of all stakeholders” in the C-band, Intel and Intelsat began this proceeding on the right track.1 That initial momentum has been slowed by disagreements among stakeholders, causing the proceeding to effectively stall. This is due to a basic failure of the C-Band Alliance (“CBA”) to recognize that other stakeholders have legitimate interests in what is really a “shared use” band and that any viable solution for repurposing part of the C-band must facilitate significant spectrum clearance.
