Echostar Annual Report Year Ended December 31, 2012 March 20, 2013
NASDAQ: SATS 100 Inverness Terrace East Englewood, CO 80112 303.706.4000 | echostar.com EchoStar Annual Report Year Ended December 31, 2012 March 20, 2013 Dear EchoStar Corporation Shareholders; 2012 was a very busy year for EchoStar. One of the most exciting accomplishments for 2012 was the addition of two new satellites to our growing fleet through the successful launches of EchoStar XVI and EchoStar XVII, bringing our total number of owned, leased and managed spacecraft to twenty-two. EchoStar operates the world’s fourth largest commercial geostationary satellite fleet and we continue to solidify our position as a premier global leader in satellite communications and operations. EchoStar ended 2012 with revenue of $3.1 billion, a growth of 13% over 2011. EBITDA in 2012 was $794 million, a growth of 64% over 2011. We generated a healthy $508 million of cash from operating activities in 2012 as a result primarily of the strong net income in 2012 and ended the year with a strong balance sheet with $1.5 billion of cash and marketable securities. EchoStar reached two very important long-term North America goals in 2012 with the market implementation of the HughesNet Gen4 service and the roll-out of the Hopper Whole Home DVR solution for DISH. Both solutions are garnering high praise and rapid adoption by consumers, a glowing testament to the capabilities and ingenuity of the EchoStar team. Additional notable accomplishments for 2012 include the very successful introduction of two new Slingbox retail products, several large enterprise contract renewals and new customers for Hughes data network services around the globe, and above-forecast sales of set-top-box products and video services to our established operator customers. -
Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-Throughput Satellites
WHITE PAPER Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-throughput Satellites 1 Wide-beam connectivity is an essential aspect of military satellite communications and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology is proving to be ideally suited for many Government applications. While most satellite operators offer closed HTS architectures that are vendor-locked with very little control offered to users, the Intelsat Epic Next Generation (Epic) HTS architecture is enterprise- grade, open architecture and vendor-agnostic. Intelsat Epic allows Government and military access to bandwidth-efficient, higher data throughputs on a global-scale via a wide variety of user-chosen waveforms, modems and antennas. Intelsat is proud to present the next generation of satellite communications that features higher data throughput rates and security while offering cost-efficiencies across the board. Introduction High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have been the center of solutions. Interoperability between the various military attention for the past five years. It is important to note that branches, allied, and coalition forces continues to be a most of these systems have been purpose-built solutions to challenge. Finally, most military and government users require service homogeneous sets of users via closed architectures. operational coverage in remote and austere regions such Systems such as ViaSat Exede, Inmarsat Global Express, Hughes as deserts, jungles, and oceans—well outside of population Jupiter, and Eutelsat KA-SAT require new investments in centers for which these closed architectures are optimized. proprietary modem technologies and service architectures. These closed systems offer star-only connectivity and keep With the disconnects between these closed HTS solutions and quality of service control with the service provider, not the end the challenges faced by the Government, it is no wonder that users. -

Plasma Conditions During the Galaxy 15 Anomaly and the Possibility of ESD from Subsurface Charging

Ferguson1 Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico 87117 William F. Denig NOAA National Geophysical Data Center, Boulder, Colorado 80305 and Juan V. Rodriguez University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, Boulder, Colorado 80309 We review the fundamentals of spacecraft structure, surface and deep-dielectric charging and investigate the environmental conditions and possible spacecraft interactions at the time of the Galaxy 15 anomaly on April 5, 2010. GOES 14 measurements of 30-600 keV electron fluxes associated with an ongoing geomagnetic substorm showed extremely elevated electron temperatures and densities coincidentally peaking near the time when Galaxy 15 exited eclipse. NASCAP-2k is used to model absolute and differential charging effects on a generic satellite similar to Galaxy 15. Tables of electron and proton stopping power are used to calculate deep-dielectric charging from penetrating charged particles prior to the anomaly. Finally, we discuss the possibility that the Galaxy 15 anomaly may have been due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) as a result of surface and/or internal charging and recommend possible design considerations that might mitigate the occurrence of ESD on future spacecraft even under extreme environmental conditions. -
