facilities governed by this part will be issued for a period of 15 years.
(2) Licenses for DBS space stations and 17/24 GHz BSS space stations

Licenses for DBS space stations not licensed as broadcast facilities will be

(b) The Commission reserves the right to grant or renew station licenses for
less than 15 years if, in its judgment, the public interest, convenience and

and that the operations of the satellite fully conform to the terms and
conditions of the space station radio authorization.
(2) For non-geostationary satellite orbit satellites, the license term will
begin at 3 a.m. EST on the date that the licensee certifies to the
Commission that its initial space station has been successfully placed into

and conditions of the space station system authorization. All space stations
launched and brought into service during the 15-year license term shall
operate pursuant to the system authorization, and the operating authority
for all space stations will terminate upon the expiration of the system
license.
