         The application of Intelsat North America LLC (Intelsat North America), IBFS File No. SAT—
LOA—20090410—00043, as amended by IBFS File No. SAT—AMD—20090528—00059, to launch and
operate a Ku—/extended Ku—band geostationary orbit space station, Intelsat 15 (Call Sign: $2789), at the
8$5.15° E.L. orbital location IS GRANTED.‘ Accordingly, Intelsat North America is authorized to operate
the Intelsat 15 space station at the 85.15° E.L. orbital location using the 14.00—14.50 GHz (Earth—to—
space), 13.75—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20 GHz (space—to—Earth), 11.45—11.70 GHz (space—to—
Earth), and 12.5—12.75 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands to provide Fixed—Satellite Service (FSS) in
accordance with the technical specifications set forth in Intelsat North America‘s application, as amended,
the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules, and subject to the following conditions:
       1.        Intelsat North America shall prepare all necessary information that may be required for
submission to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to initiate and complete the advance
publication, international coordination, due diligence, and notification procedures for this space station, in
accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. Intelsat North America shall be held responsible for all cost
recovery fees associated with these ITU filings. No protection from interference caused by radio stations
authorized by other Administrations is guaranteed unless coordination and notification procedures are
timely completed or, with respect to individual Administrations, by successfully completing coordination
agreements. Any radio station authorization for which coordination has not been completed may be
subject to additional terms and conditions as required to effect coordination of the frequency assignments
with other Administrations. 47 C.F.R. § 25.111(b).
       2.        Intelsat North America is granted a waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3) of the Commission‘s
rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(d)(3). Section 25.114(d)(3) requires each applicant to provide "Predicted space
station antenna gain contour(s) for each transmit and each receive antenna beam and nominal orbital
location requested." The main purpose of the contour map is to allow evaluation of the potential for
harmful interference with other operators and services in the frequency band." The Intelsat 15 application
indicates that the omni—directional and wide—coverage antenna diagrams — Exhibits 6L, 6M, 6P and 6Q —
were not prepared in accordance with the requirements in Section 25.114(d)(3) of the Commission‘s rules
because the space station manufacturer did not provide contours in the required form. We find, however,
that Exhibits 6L, 6M, 6P and 6Q, together with the descriptive characterization provided in Section 2.7.1
of the application, provide a sufficiently complete description of the transponder characteristics of the
Intelsat 15 space station to enable coordination of the frequency assignments with other administrations.
      3.         Intelsat North America is authorized to use 14002 MHz and 14004.5 MHz for command
of the Intelsat 15 space station. No waiver of Section 25.202(g) is required to authorize the use of these
frequencies for command functions. See Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp., Order and
Authorization, 24 FCC Red 2330, 2362 (para. 95) (Int‘l Bur. Feb. 24, 2009).




‘ Intelsat North America states that Intelsat 15 will replace Intelsat 709 ($2396), which is currently located at $5.15°
EL. The application for Intelsat 15 contains new frequency bands not previously authorized on Intelsat 709 and
omits certain frequency bands authorized on Intelsat 709. Specifically, the 13.75—14.0 GHz (Earth—to—space)
frequency band requested for the Intelsat 15 space station is not authorized for the Intelsat 709 space station. The
frequency bands that are on the Intelsat 709 authorization, but are not part of the Intelsat 15 application, are the
3700—4200 MHz (space—to—Earth), 5925—6435 MHz (Earth—to—space), and 6170—6180 MHz (Earth—to—space)
frequency bands. Intelsat has a pending application to relocate Intelsat 709 to the 54.85 ° E.L. orbital location
following the successful launch of Intelsat 15. See IBFS File No. SAT—MOD—20091106—00117.

      4.        Pursuant to footnote US337 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47
C.F.R. § 2.106, any earth station in the United States and its possessions (US&P) communicating with the
Intelsat15 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency band (EFarth—to—space) is required to coordinate
through National Telecommunications and Information Administration‘s (NTIA‘s) Interdepartment Radio
Advisory Committee‘s (IRAC‘s) Frequency Assignment Subcommittee (FAS)."
       5.        Operations of any earth station in the US&P communicating with the Intelsat 15 space
station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency band (Farth—to—space) shall comply with footnote US356 to
United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, which specifies a minimum antenna
diameter of 4.5 meters and a minimum equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)." Operations of
any earth station located outside the US&P communicating with the Intelsat 15 space station in the 13.75—
14.0 GHz frequency band (Earth—to—space) shall be consistent with footnote 5.502 to the ITU Radio
Regulations, which allows a minimum antenna diameter of 1.2 meters for earth stations of a geostationary
satellite orbit network."
      6.       Operators of earth stations accessing the Intelsat 15 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz
frequency band are encouraged to cooperate voluntarily with the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) inorder to facilitate continued operation of NASA‘s Tropical Rainfall Measuring
Mission (TRMM) satellite."
     7.         Intelsat North America‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz and the 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency
bands is subject to footnote US211 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. $
2.106, US211, which urges applicants for airborne or space station assignments to take all practicable
steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the adjacent bands from harmful interference, consistent
with footnote US74.
       8.        In the 13.75—14.0 GHz band, receiving space stations in the fixed—satellite service shall
not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with the United
States Table of Frequency Allocations.

" Footnote US337 requires that earth stations operating in the 13.75—13.8 GHz frequency band shall be coordinated
through NTIA‘s IRAC‘s FAS to minimize interference to the forward space—to—space link of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System. 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US337.

* Footnote US356 places a restriction on a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters and the e.i.r.p. that should be on
FSS operations in order to protect government operations in the band, including manned space flight. 47 C.E.R. $
2.106, US356.

° Footnote 5.502 to the ITU Radio Regulations establishes minimum antenna diameters for earth stations of
geostationary and non—geostationary satellite networks, and places certain restrictions on either the minimum e.i.r.p.
or the power flux density (p.f.d.) levels produced by earth stations operating in the 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency band.

© NASA‘s TRMM satellite system radar in the 13.793—13.805 GHz frequency band remains operational and is a
highly valuable and visible United States asset with a broad range of international users. Accordingly, NTIA has
requested cooperation from the Commission and non—Federal Government entities in providing assistance in
reducing interference with the TRMM radar. Specifically, NTIA requests that FSS earth stations in the 13.793 —
13.805 GHz frequency band located south of 39° N. and east of 110° W. operate with emission levels below —150
dBW/600 kHz at the TRMM space station receiver. Letter from Frederick R. Wentland, Acting Associate
Administrator, Office of Spectrum Management, NTIA, to Don Abelson, Chief, International Bureau, FCC
(February 28, 2002). Considering the secondary nature of the TRMM operation, NTIA‘s request is not a condition
of this authorization. The Commission, however, urges all operators of earth stations accessing the Intelsat—15 space
station in the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz frequency band to cooperate voluntarily with NASA in order to facilitate continued
operation of the TRMM satellite.

      9.            The operation of the Intelsat 15 space station in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band is limited to
international operations in accordance with footnote NG104 to the United States Table of Frequency
Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106 NG104, and footnote 2 of Section 25.202(a)(1) of the Commission‘s rules,
47 CFER. § 25.202(a)(1).
     10.        In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, Intelsat North
America is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that
country.
      11.        Intelsat North America shall maintain the Intelsat 15 space station within an east—west
longitudinal station—keeping tolerance of + 0.05° of its assigned 85.15° E.L. orbital location.
      12.           Intelsat North America‘s operation of Intelsat 15 at the 85.15° E.L. orbital location in the
Ku— and extended Ku—band frequencies of 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20 GHz (space—to—
Earth), 11.45—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth), and 12.5—12.75 (space—to—Earth) is subject to the following
conditions:
               a.   Intelsat shall remain a signatory to the Public Services Agreement between Intelsat and
                    the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO) that was approved
                    by the ITSO Twenty—fifth Assembly of Parties, as amended.

               b.   No entity shall be considered a successor—in—interest to Intelsat under the ITSO
                    Agreement for licensing purposes unless it has undertaken to perform the obligations of
                    the Public Services Agreement approved by the Twenty—fifth Assembly of Parties, as
                    amended.

      13.       With respect to the 13.75—14.0 GHz (Farth—to—space) frequency band, Intelsat North
America submitted evidence that it had met the first three milestones required for a geostationary satellite
pursuant to Section 25.164 of our rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.164, and requested that the bond requirement
pursuant to Section 25.165, 47 C.F.R. § 25.165, of our rules be reduced accordingly. Intelsat North
America supplemented that information on October 30, 2009. Based on the evidence provided, the
Satellite Division finds that Intelsat North America has satisfied the first three milestones (execute a
binding non—contingent contract for construction, complete the critical design review, and commence
construction) required for a geostationary satellite. The milestone and bond requirements are adjusted
accordingly.
               a.   —Intelsat North America‘s space station at the 85.15° E.L. orbital location must be
                    launched and placed into operation in accordance with the technical parameters and terms
                    and conditions of this authorization within two years following the date of this
                    authorization (November 25, 2011); and
            b.      Intelsat must file a bond with the Commission in thye amount of $750,000, pursuant to the
                    procedures set forth in Public Notice, DA 03—2602, 18 FCC Red 16283 (2003), within 30
                    days of the date of this grant (December 25, 2009).
                    Failure to meet either of these dates shall render this authorization null and void.

       14.       The Intelsat 15 space station must begin providing service at the 85.15° E.L. orbital
location in the 14.00—14.50 GHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20 GHz (space—to—Earth), 11.45—11.70 GHz
(space—to—Earth), and 12.5—12.75 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands before the space station it is
replacing, Intelsat 709, discontinues service at the 85.15° E.L. orbital location. Failure to meet this
milestone shall render this authorization to operate in the 14.00—14.50 GHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20

GHz (space—to—Earth), 11.45—11.70 GHz (space—to—Earth), and 12.5—12.75 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency
bands NULL and VOID.
      15.       The license term for this space station, Call Sign $2789, is fifteen years and will begin to
run on the date that Intelsat North America certifies to the Commission that the satellite has been
successfully placed into orbit and its operation fully conforms to the terms and conditions of this
authorization. Intelsat North America is directed to file its certification with the Chief, Satellite Division,
International Bureau, within 10 business days after the space station commences operations at its assigned
location.
       16.       Intelsat North America is afforded thirty days from the date of release of this grant and
authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will
constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned.
      17.        This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated
authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under Section
1.106 or applications for review under Sections 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106,
1.115, may be filed within thirty days of the date of the public notice indicating that this action was taken.
