SES Seeks License Extension for AMC-7

SES wants an extra 2.5 years of life for its AMC-7 satellite operating at 135 degrees west. In an International Bureau posting Wednesday, it said the C-band satellite's current license term expires Oct. 25, and it intends to stop inclination control in December and that would allow the satellite to operate longer. It asked for a license extension to Feb. 28, 2021.
