Date Filed: 04/16/2008 12:35:12:80000
Launch and Operating Authority


Intelsat North America LLC (Intelsat) filed an application to construct, launch, and operate a Ku-band space station, Intelsat 16, at the 58.1º W.L.
orbital location using the 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 11.7-12.2 GHz (Space-to-earth) frequency bands. In its application, Intelsat
requests a determination that it has meet the first three milestones (Execute a binding contract for construction, Complete the Critical Design
Review, and Commence construction) and that in the event a bond is imposed that the Commission reduce the bond amount from $3,000,000 by
75 percent to $750,000.

DIRECTV Enterprises, L.L.C. (DIRECTV) requests authority to construct, launch, and operate a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service
(BSS) space station at the 107° W.L. orbital location, which is an Appendix F location as set forth in the 17/24 GHz BSS Report and Order,
FCC 07-76 (rel. May 4, 2007), at full power and with full interference protection. (See FCC 07-76 and 07-174 for a complete explanation of
the rules and policies regarding the spacing framework and interference protections adopted by the Commission). DIRECTV seeks to use
the 17.3 -17.7 (space-to-Earth) and 24.75-25.15 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. DIRECTV seeks to perform telemetry, tracking, and
command operations at the lower edges of the 17.3-17.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) and the 24.75-25.15 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands.

SAT-00535, rel. July 3, 2008.

Intelsat North America LLC (Intelsat) requests authority to construct, launch, and operate a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting Satellite Service (BSS)
space station at the 99.1° W.L. orbital location, which is offset 0.1° from the 99° W.L. orbital location specified in Appendix F to the 17/24
GHz Report and Order, FCC 07-76 (rel. May 4, 2007), at a reduced power and without full interference protection. (See FCC 07-76 and
07-174 for a complete explanation of the rules and policies regarding the spacing framework and interference protections adopted by the
Commission). Intelsat seeks to use the 17.3-17.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 24.75-25.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands, with the
17.7-17.8 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency band limited to international service only. Intelsat also proposes to perform regular on-station
telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) operations at the lower band edge of the 17.3-17.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency band, and at
the lower and upper band edges of the 24.75-25.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency band. Intelsat seeks a waiver of 47 C.F.R. § 25.202(g),
to use the upper band edge of the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth) frequency band for emergency TT&C, and launch and early orbit phase
transmissions. Intelsat also seeks a waiver of 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(b) as it pertains to information required by 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.114(c)(4)(i),
25.114(c)(4)(iii), 25.114(d)(3), 25.114(d)(5) and 25.114(c)(8). Intelsat also withdraws its request for waiver of 47 C.F.R. § 25.156(a), made
in its initial application, based on the Commission's finding that Intelsat complies with the Orbit Act.
