S2791SAT-LOA-20090528-00060 E Launch and Operating Authority 05/28/2009 15:39:59:46000Date Filed: EchoStar Corporation EchoStar Corporation (EchoStar) has filed an application for authority to launch and operate a geostationary orbit satellite (GSO) satellite in the Fixed-Satellite Service using the C-band frequencies 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth) and 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space) at the 84.9° W.L. orbital location. EchoStar proposes to operate its telemetry, tracking and commend (TT&C) operations at the edges of the 6/4 GHz frequency bands. EchoStar states that to the extent that information relating to specific TT&C frequencies and satellite spacecraft design is not known because it has not selected a satellite manufacturer, EchoStar requests a limited waiver of the rules, to the extent one is necessary, to submit its application without the requested information. EchoStar also states that the presumption raised in Section 25.159(d) of the Commission’s rules should not apply to this application. See Letter to Pantelis Michalpoulos, Counsel for EchoStar Corporation, from Robert Nelson, Chief, Satellite Division, DA 09-1149 (released May 27, 2009). To the extent the Commission determines that Section 25.159(d) applies to its application, EchoStar seeks a waiver of this rule. Inclusion of this application on this public notice is without prejudice to any action with respect to the Section 25.159(d) presumption.
