SES Planning AMC-3 Move as Part of Swap With AMC-6

As part of its plan to swap its AMC-6 and AMC-3 satellites (see 1610170014), SES filed a notification Tuesday with the FCC International Bureau that AMC-3's license should be modified to reflect it's moving from 67 degrees west to 72 degrees west. AMC-3 will operate within the technical parameters licensed and coordinated for AMC-6, currently at 72 degrees west, and the move will start no sooner than 30 days after the notification's filing, said the satellite company.
