PanAmSat Corporation has filed a request for Special Temporary Authority to launch and perform in-orbit testing of its Galaxy X-R fixed-satellite service satellite. PanAmSat has a pending application to launch and operate this satellite as a replacement satellite for its Galaxy X satellite, which suffered a launch failure on August 8, 1998 [see File No. SAT-LOA-19990518-00054]. As a replacement, the Galaxy X-R satellite is proposed to be operated at 123 degrees W.L. However, PanAmSat is operating two satellites at the 123 degree orbital location and requests authority to conduct the in-orbit testing of the Galaxy X-R satellite at 127 degrees W.L., for up to 90 days, prior to placing it into operation at its assigned orbital location of 123 degrees W.L. Launch of the Galaxy X-R satellite is scheduled for January 24, 2000. NOTE: Comments on PanAmSat's request may be filed on or before January 7, 2000. Replies may be filed on or before Jaunary 14, 2000. For more information concerning this Notice, contact the Satellite and Radiocommunication Division at 418-0719; TTY 202-418-2555. Page 2 of 2
