The FCC International Bureau dismissed an application from Skynet Satellite for authority to launch and operate a satellite at 15 degrees west. The application concerning the Telstar 12 Vantage satellite is defective, the bureau’s Satellite Division said Thursday in a letter (http://bit.ly/ZSGQ3j). Skynet’s application doesn’t specify the telemetry, tracking and command frequencies, and their associated polarization data, it said. The division asked Skynet for additional information on the volume of its pressurant tanks.
