East-West Station-keeping Tolerance MSV requests a waiver of Section 25.210(j) of the Commission's rules, which requires that GSO space stations be maintained within ±0.05o of their assigned orbital longitude in the east/west direction, unless specifically authorized by the Commission to operate with a different longitudinal tolerance, and except as provided in Section 25.283(b) (end-of-life disposal) of the Commission's rules. MSV seeks to operate within ±0.10° of its assigned nominal GSO orbital longitude.

Jan 26, 2005) (``XM 3 and 4 Order'') Although SES Americom's minimum perigee increase is less than that specified in our rules for newer spacecraft, the Satcom SN-4 satellite is ``grandfathered.'' See 47 C.F.R. § 25.283(d). We note that recent studies suggest that minimization of the eccentricity of the disposal orbit, and performing maneuvers such that the spacecraft's disposal orbit has a sun-pointing perigee, may substantially enhance the long-term stability of the disposal orbit, and, therefore, the extent to which the spacecraft remains removed from the geostationary satellite orbit altitude. We therefore urge SES Americom and
