Attachment to Grant Intelsat North America LLC IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20100726—00167 Call Sign $2814 The application of Intelsat North America LLC (Intelsat) for authority to construct, launch and operate a C—/Ku—band geostationary orbit space station, to be known at Intelsat 17, at the 66° E.L. orbital location IS GRANTED. Accordingly, Intelsat is authorized to operate the Intelsat 17 space station at 66° E.L. to provide fixed—satellite service in the 3625—4200 MHz (space —to—Earth), 5850—6425 MHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20 GHz (space —to—Earth), 11.45—11.70 GHz (space —to—Earth), 12.50—12.75 GHz (space —to— Earth), 13.75—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. Intelsat is also authorized to conduct telemetry, tracking, and telecommand (TT&C) operations using frequencies centered on 3947.5 MHz and 3952.5 MHz (space—to—Earth) and 6173.7 MHz and 6176.3 MHz (Earth—to—space) necessary to maintain Intelsat 17 at the 66° E.L. orbital location. This authorization is granted in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in Intelsat‘s application, the Commission‘s rules not waived herein, and is subject to the following conditions: 1. Intelsat shall prepare the necessary information, as may be required, for submission to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to initiate and complete the advance publication, international coordination, due diligence, and notification process of this space station, in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. Intelsat shall be held responsible for all cost—recovery fees associated with ITU filings. We also note that 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 of other administrations. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.111(b). 2. In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, Intelsat is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country. 3. While at the 66° E.L. orbital location, Intelsat must maintain the Intelsat 17 space station with an east/west longitudinal station—keeping tolerance of +/—0.05 degrees. 4. Intelsat‘s request for waiver of Section 25.114(d) (3) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(d)(3), is granted. Section 25.114(d) (3) requires that the space station antenna gain contour(s) for each transmit and receive antenna beam should be plotted on an area map at 2 dB intervals down to 10 dB below peak value of the parameter, and at 5 dB intervals between 10 dB and 20 dB below peak values. Intelsat requests a waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3) with respect to Intelsat 17‘ s Landmass and Europe—Middle East beam cross—polarization diagrams, wide—beam and medium beam antenna gain diagrams, and C—band and Ku—band ULPC antenna gain diagrams. Intelsat states that the satellite manufacturer did not provide these beam patterns in the form required by 25.114(d)(3). In lieu of the format required by 25.114(d)(3), Intelsat has submitted descriptions of the relevant beam patterns in addition to beam information provided by the satellite manufacturer. We have reviewed the antenna beam descriptions that Intelsat provided in Exhibits 5A through 5T to support the 25.114(d)(3) informational requirement and find that the descriptive characterizations of the antenna beam patterns in combination with the manufacturer‘s beam patterns provide by Intelsat are sufficient to fulfill the informational requirements of Section 25.114(d)(3). 5. Intelsat‘s request for a waiver of 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.202(g) is granted. Intelsat requests a waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules to allow it to conduct telecommand functions for the Intelsat 17 space station in the 6173.7 and 6176.3 MHz frequencies and telemetry on the 3947.5 MHz and 3952.5 MHz frequencies. Section 25.202(g) limits space

Attachment to Grant Intelsat North America LLC IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20100726—00167 Call Sign $2814 station operators to TT&C links in the same frequency bands as their primary service operations. The purpose of this rule is to simplify the coordination process among space stations at adjacent orbit locations, to provide an incentive for a space station operator to maximize the efficiency of its system‘s TT&C operations, and to minimize the constraints placed on other space station operations. Intelsat maintains that the specific hardware and telemetry channels were chosen for Intelsat17 so as to minimize any corresponding impact on Intelsat‘s ground control stations. Intelsat also states that it will be operating from an orbital location that does not have a view of the United States, where TT&C frequencies of adjacent satellite may or may not be located at the edge of the operating band. This waiver grant is based upon the following findings: a. Placement of TT&C in the center of the standard C—band has already been coordinated for the existing satellite at this orbital location, and, therefore, operation of the new satellite would not negatively alter the potential impact on adjacent satellites or require additional coordination; b. Altering current coordination arrangements for this and adjacent locations would be unduly disruptive of ongoing operations; c. The Intelsat—17 space station will operate with lower uplink TT&C power than Intelsat 702, thus resulting in reduced interference potential; and d. Intelsat does not plan to operate this space station in the future at a location capable of serving the contiguous United States (CONUS). As a condition of granting this waiver, Intelsat must accommodate future space station networks that are compliant with Section 25.202(g). Further, Intelsat must operate Intelsat—17 pursuant to any existing or future coordination agreements for this location. Intelsat‘s request for waiver of Section 25.210(i)(1) of the Commuission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.210(1)(1), is granted. Section 25.210(i)(1) requires space station antennas to be designed to provide a cross— polarization isolation such that the ratio of the on axis co—polar gain to the cross—polar gain of the antenna in the assigned frequency band is at least 30 dB within its primary coverage area. Intelsat indicates that the cross—polarization isolation ratio for Intelsat 17 C—band receive antenna is at least 28.5 dB in its primary coverage area, except Southern Africa and a small area in Europe, where it is greater than 22 dB, as well as in small sections of Asia where the cross—polarization isolation ratio ranges from 22 to 28.5dB (see Exhibits 5BB—1 through 5BB—6 to its application). Intelsat states that although part of its coverage area — Intelsat 17‘s Landmass and Europe Middle East receive transmit beams — do not meet the requirements of 25.210(i)(1), its failure to meet the requirements will not adversely affect any other operator in this instance. We agree that waiver in this instance will not produce a significant increase in interference, except to the applicant itself. As a condition of the waiver, Intelsat shall claim no more protection from interference from other licensed radiocommunication systems operating in accordance with the Commission‘s rules than if its antennas met Section 25.210(i) of the rules. Intelsat‘s use of the 3625—3650 MHz (space—to—Earth) band is subject to footnote US245 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US245, which states that the 3600—3650 MHz use of the non—Federal fixed—satellite service is limited to international inter—continental systems and is subject to case—by—case electromagnetic compatibility analysis.

Intelsat shall not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with footnote G2. 10. 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. 11. The operation of the Intelsat 17 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 C.FR. § 25.202(a)(1). 12. Use of the 12.50—12.75 GHz frequency band is not permitted for fixed—satellite service in the space— to—Earth direction in Region 2. 13. 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 Intelsat 17 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency band (Earth—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).‘ 14. Operations of any earth station in the US&P communicating with the Intelsat 17 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency band (Earth—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 ‘ 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.F.R. § 2.106, US356. »

Operators of earth stations accessing the Intelsat 17 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency band are encouraged to cooperate voluntarily with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in order to facilitate continued operation of NASA‘s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite.* 16. 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. 17. Intelsat‘s operation of Intelsat 17 at the 66° E.L. orbital location in the 3700—4200 MHz (space —to— Earth), 5925—6425 MHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20 GHz (space —to—Earth), 11.45—11.70 GHz (space —to—Earth), 12.50—12.75 GHz (space —to—Earth), and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) 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. 18. With respect to the 3625—3700 (space—to—Earth), 5850—5925 MHz (Earth—to—space), and 13.75—14.00 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands, Intelsat 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 supplemented that information on November 1, 2010." > 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. * Letter from Jennifer D. Hindin, Counsel to Intelsat North America LLC, to Marlene H. Dortch, FCC, dated Nov. 1, 2010 (informing that Intelsat 17 had arrived at the launch facility in Kourou, French Guiana, on October 26, 2010, where it is scheduled for a November 2010 launch).

Attachment to Grant Intelsat North America LLC IBFS File No. SAT—LOA—20100726—00167 Call Sign $2814 Based on the evidence provided, the Satellite Division finds that Intelsat 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‘s space station at the 66° 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 17, 2012); and b. Intelsat must file a bond with the Commission in the 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 17, 2010). Failure to meet either of these dates shall render this authorization to operate in the 3625—3700 (space— to—Earth), 5850—5925 MHz (Earth—to—space), and 13.75—14.00 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands null and void. 19. The Intelsat 17 space station must begin providing service at the 66° E.L. orbital location in the 3700— 4200 MHz (space —to—Earth), 5925—6425 MHz (Earth—to—space), 10.95—11.20 GHz (space —to—Earth), 11.45—11.70 GHz (space —to—Earth), 12.50—12.75 GHz (space —to—Earth), and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to— space) frequency bands before the space station it is replacing, Intelsat 702—(Call Sign $2388), discontinues service at the 66° E.L. orbital location. Failure to meet this milestone shall render this authorization to operate in these frequency bands NULL and VOID. 20. The license term for the space station is 15 years and will begin on the date that Intelsat certifies to the Commission that the satellite has been successfully placed into orbit and its operations fully conform to the terms and conditions of this authorization. Intelsat is directed to file its certification of commencement of operation with the Commission within five business days of the satellite being placed into operation at the 66° E.L. orbital location. 21. Intelsat is afforded 30 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. 22. 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 of the Commission‘s rules or applications for reconsideration under Section 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106,1.115, may be filed within 30 days of the public notice indicating that this action was taken.
