Modification
10/02/2012 - 04/30/2025
Granted in Part/ Deferred in Part
Effective Date:
10/02/2012

Nature of Service:

Mobile Satellite Service
On October 2, 2012, the Satellite Division granted in part, with conditions, the application of Orbcomm License Corp. to modify its authorization
for a non-voice, non-geostationary mobile satellite service (Little LEO) system. The Satellite Division granted authority to the extent of
modifying the target orbital inclination of one satellite from 51.6 degrees to 51.7 degrees, and specifying an additional feeder link centered at the
150.025 MHz for that satellite. In addition, in light of the imminent launch of the satellite, the Satellite Division partially waived the fourth
milestone in the Orbcomm Next Generation License, which requires Orbcomm to complete construction of and launch the first two
next-generation satellites. The waiver is limited to extending authority to launch and operate with respect to the one satellite proposed for
imminent launch. The Satellite Division deferred action on all other aspects of the pending modification application, as amended. This grant was
without prejudice to action on remaining portions of the amended modification application, including Orbcomm's request to extend the fourth
milestone for six months or deem it satisfied by the launch of a single satellite.
