| | | E* Files With FCC to De-orbit E5 Aug. 3rd
"... APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.120, EchoStar
Satellite Operating L.L.C. (“DISH”) requests emergency special temporary authority (“STA”)
for a period of 30 days to (1) de-orbit its EchoStar 5 satellite from its current location at 147.925W.L., and (2) perform telemetry, tracking and command (“TT&C”) functions with EchoStar 5
during the de-orbiting operations. Because managing EchoStar 5’s rapidly depleting propellant
levels is essential to obtaining as high a disposal orbit as possible, DISH requests authority to
begin de-orbiting on August 3, 2009, to allow de-orbit procedures to begin that evening. ..." FCC INTERNATIONAL BUREAU

Looks like E*'s luck with E5 has just about run out. It will now become true space junk.

Only thing really left there is some PI channels and the Billings, MT market, but they are already on a 110 spotbeam.

A little nugget in the filing....... "two more launches in 2009 from Dish and Partners".
Looks like Nimiq 5 and Echostar 14 are both scheduled for this year.
