SAT-LOA-20020329-00042 S2439 EchoStar Satellite Corporation Launch and Operating Authority
EchoStar Satellite Corporation has filed an application to construct, launch and operate a new Direct Broadcast Satellite, EchoStar VIII, at 110° W.L. EchoStar proposes to colocate the EchoStar VIII satellite with EchoStar V at 110° W.L. The EchoStar VIII satellite location is equipped with spot beams and would provide limited spectrum reuse and additional localized programming capacity at that location. Specifically, EchoStar VIII would deliver 40 DBS-equivalent channels using 20 of the 29 channels EchoStar is authorized to use at the 110° W.L. location.
Concurrently, EchoStar has filed a request for modification to add this satellite to the facilities authorized to operate at 110° W.L. See File No. SAT-MOD-20020329-00041.
