Engineering Statement PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") proposes to operate its Galaxy 14 spacecraft from 125° WL. Galaxy 14 will utilize the 5925 — 6425 MHz and 3700 — 4200 MHz frequency bands. As a result of changes over time to PanAmSat‘s plans for operation in the vicinity of 125° W.L., there have been multiple modifications to the orbital location requested for Galaxy 14. In August 2003 PanAmSat requested authority to operate Galaxy 14 from 125° WL (See FCC File No.: SAT— AMD—20030827—00283). In December 2003, PanAmSat amended. its request by specifying 125.05° WL instead of 125° WL (See FCC File No.: SAT—AMD—20031223—00365). In February 2004, the Commission granted. (by grant stamp) PanAmSat‘s amended request to operate Galaxy 14 from 125.05° WL. In February 2005, PanAmSat requested authority to operate Galaxy 14 from 125.15° WL (See FCC File No.: SAT—MOD—20050215— 00039), and the Commission granted PanAmSat‘s request in March 2005. In October 2005, the Commission granted PanAmSat‘s request to operate Galaxy 14 from its previously authorized orbital location of 125.05° WL (See FCC File No.: SAT—MOD—20050812—00158). Shortly before PanAmSat‘s license modification application for 125.05° WL was granted, a determination was made to decommission SBS—4, which had been located at 124.95° WL.. This determination meant that PanAmSat would have additional stationkeeping fexibility, because it would only be operating two satellites in the vicinity of 125° WL (ie, Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 14) rather than three satellites (Ze., SBS—4, Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 14). Following an evaluation of its options, PanAmSat determined that it could optimize stationkeeping by locating Galaxy 12 at 125.10° WL and Galaxy 14 at 125° WL. Accordingly, PanAmSat proposes herein to operate Galaxy 14 from 125° WL.. (PanAmSat is filing a separate modification application secking authority to operate Galaxy 12 from 125.10° WL.) To take the impact of this proposed change in orbital location into account; this engineering statement updates, as appropriate, the following technical information that PanAmSat had previously submitted: (1) gain contours, (2) PFD levels and (3) link budget and interference analysis Page 1 of 5

Gain Contours The coverage pattems for Galaxy 14 operating from the 125° WL orbital location were previously submitted in SAT—AMD—20030827—00283 for 125° WL. The coverage pattems for the Galaxy 14 operation from the 125° WL orbital location that is proposed herein are the same as those contained in SAT—AMD—20030827—00283. Accordingly, no new beam gain contours are being submitted. Power Flux Density Levels The power flux density (*PFD®) levels at the Earth‘s surface produced by Galaxy 14 operating from the proposed 125° WL orbital location are presented in Exhibit 1. Lin et and Interference Analysis The operational co—frequency satellites nearest to the proposed 125° WL orbital location are Galaxy 10R, located at 123° WL, and Galaxy 13, located at 127° WL. Galaxy 10R and Galaxy 13 are licensed to PanAmSat. The operating parameters of Galaxy 10R and Galaxy 13 are specified in FCC File Nos. SAT—LOA—19990518—00054. and SAT—LOA—19991207—00118 (SAT—AMD—20030228—00020), respectively. An earth station receiving transmissions from Galaxy: 10R and having antenna off—axis gain characteristics that are in compliance with Section 25.209(a)(1) of the FCC Rules would have an off—axis gain of 21.2 dBi in the direction of Galaxy 14 operating from the currently authorized orbital location of 125.05° WL. With Galaxy 14 operating from 125° WL, the off— axis gain of the receiving earth station would be 21.5 dBi. Hence there would be a resulting increase in the off—axis gain of the earth station antenna of 0.3 dB. Such a small increase in the off—axis gain will not change in any meaningful way the interference environmentof Galaxy 10R receiving earth stations. Similarly, the potential for interference from Galaxy: 10R transmissions into Galaxy 14 receive earth stations would be substantially unchanged (0.3 dB variation). With respect to an earth station receiving transmissions from Galaxy 13, the off—axis antenna gain of the receiving antenna would be reduced from 21.7 dBi to 21.5 dBi — a decrease of0.2 dB. Such a small decrease in the off—axis gain of the Galaxy 13 receive earth station will not change in any meaningful way the existing interference environment of Galaxy: 13 receiving earth stations. Similarly, the potential for interference from Page 2 of 5

Galaxy 13 transmissions into Galaxy 14 receiving earth stations would be substantially unchanged (0.2 dB variation). The impact of Galaxy 14‘s proposed operation from 125° WL on Galaxy 10R and Galaxy 13 can also be assessed relative to the previously authorized operation of Galaxy 14 from 125.15° WL. Regarding Galaxy 10R, the off— axis gain of a receiving earth station antenna in the direction of Galaxy 12 at 125.15° WL would be 20.7 dBi, assuming that the receive antenna complies with offaxis gain limits of Section 25.09(a)(1) of the Commission‘s Rules. With Galaxy 14 operating from 125° WL, the off—axis gain of the receiving earth station would be 21.5 dBi — an increase of 0.8 dB.. Similarly, with respect to an carth station receiving transmissions from Galaxy 13, the off— axis antenna gain of the receiving antenna would be decreased from 22.3 dBi to 21.5 dBi — a variation of 0.8 dB. As with the scenario described above (125.05° WL as the reference location), the impact on Galaxy 10R and Galaxy 13 of changing the Galaxy 14 satellite orbital location to 125° WL is very small. Given that the proposed relocation of Galaxy 14 would not result in any significant change to the interference environment as it pertains to Galaxy 14, Galaxy 10R and Galaxy 13, no link budget analysis is provided herein. In any case given that Galaxy 10R, Galaxy 13 and Galaxy 14 are all licensed to PanAmSat, in the unlikely event that Galaxy 14 operating from 125° WL were to adversely affect the transmissions from Galaxy 10R and/or Galaxy 13, PanAmSat would take appropriate actions to resolve the matter through internal coordination. Schedule S Submission PanAmSat is providing a Schedule S with its application.. The Schedule S contains only: (1) those Galaxy 14 data items that have changed from those that were shown in the Schedule S for SAT—MOD—20050812—00158; and (2) data items whose inclusion was required in order for the software application to function properly. The Schedule S does not, however, contain a link analysis for Galaxy14 at the 125° WL orbital location, because there would be no significant change in the Galaxy 14 links from this location as compared to those associated with 125.15° WL, for which link information has previously been provided. Additionally, no contour gain patterns have been included in the Schedule S since there is no changefrom the coverage pattens: already provided for Galaxy 14 at 125° WL in SAT—AMD— 20030827—00283 Page 3 of5

PanAmSat Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan Pan¥AmSatis proactive in ensuring safe operation and disposal ofthis and all spacecraft under ts control. The four elements of debris mitigation are addressed below: Spaceeraft Hardware Design: The spacecraft is designed such that no debris will be released during normal operations, PanAmSat has assessed the probability of collisions with meteoroids and other small debris (<1 em in diameter) and has taken the fllowing steps to limit the effects of such collisins: (1) crtical spacecraft components are located inside the protective body of the spacecraft and properly shielded; and (2) all spacecraft subsystems have redundant components to ensure no single—pointfailures. The spaceéraft does not use any subsystems for end—of—life disposal thatare not used for normal operations. Minimizing Accidental Explosions: Pan¥AmSat has assessed the probability ofaccidental explosions during and after completion of mission operations. The spacecraftis designed in a manner to minimize the potentialfor such explosions. Propellant tanks and thrusters are isolated using redundant valves and clectrical power systems are shielded in accordance with standard industry practices. At the completion ofthe mission, and upon disposal of the spacecraft PanAmSat will ensure the removal ofall stored energy on the spacecraft by depletingall propellant tanks, venting all pressurized systems, isolating the batteries from the spacecraft bus, and tuming offall active units Safe Flight Profiles: PanAmSat has assessed and limited the probabilty of he space station becoming a source of debris as result ofcollisions with large debris or other operational space stations. Except as stated below, Galaxy14 willnot be located atthe same orbitallocation as another satelite or at an orbitallcation that has an overlapping stationkeeping volume with another satelite. The proposed orbitallocation for Galaxy 14 is 125° W.L., and PanAmSat is filing a modification application proposing to locate Galaxy 12 at 125.10° W.L. PanAmSat will coordinate th stationkeeping ofthese two satellites, which will have tangent — but not overlapping — stationkeeping volumes. SEAmericom has been authorized to launch and operate AMC—21 at 125° W.L. PanAmSat will coordinate with SES Americom with respect to tstationkeeping of PanAmSat‘s stellites and the stationkeeping of AMC—21. PanAmSatis not aware of any other FCC licensed system, or any other system applied for and under consideration by the FCC, having an overlapping stationkeeping volume with Galaxy 14. PanAmSat alsois not aware ofany system having an overlapping stationkeeping volume with Galaxy 14 that is the subject ofan ITU filing and thatis cither in orbit o progressing towards launch.

Post—Mission Disposal: At the end ofthe mission, PanAmSat willdispose of the spacecraft by moving it to a minimum altitde of 300 km above the GEO are. This exceeds the minimum altiude established by the IADC formula. PanAmSat has reserved 5.4 ke offuel forthis purpose. The reserved fuel figure was determined by the spacecraft manufacturer and provided for in the propellant budget. To calculate this figure, he manufacturer used the "rocket equation," «. it pluaged in the expected mass ofthe satelit t end oflife and the required delta—velocity t achieve the desized orbit PanAmSat has assessed fuel gauging uncertainty and has provided an adequate margin of fuel reserve to address the assessed uncertaity in remaining propellant. in calculating the disposalorbit, PanAmSat has used simplifying assumptions as permitted under the Commission‘s Orbital Debris Report and Order. For reference, the effective area to mass ratios (Cr*A/M) othe spacecraf in PanAmSat‘s fleet are all less than or equal to 0.04198, resultingin a minimum perigee disposal altitude under the IADC formula of at most 277.0 km above GEO, which is lower than the 300 km above GBO disposal alttude specified by PanAmSatin thisfling

PanAmSat Licensee Corp. FCC Form 312 ExhibitB Page1 of1 ExhibitB Response to Item 36 Regarding Cancelled Authorizations PanAmSat Licensee Corp.(‘PanAmSat") never has had an FCC license "revoked." However, on June 26, 2000, the International Bureau "cancelled"two Ka—band satellite authorizations issued to PanAmSat, based on the Bureau‘s finding that PanAmSat LC had not satisfied applicable construction milestones. See In re PanAmSat Licensee Corp, Memorandium Opinion and Order, DA 00—1266, 15 FCC Red 18720 (1B 2000). in that same order, the Bureau denied related applications to modify the cancelled authorizations. PanAmSatfiled an application for review of the Bureau‘s decision, which the Commission denied, and subsequently filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which was dismissed in January 2003 at PanAmSat‘s request. Notwithstanding the fact that the Bureau‘s action does not seem to be the kind of revocation action contemplated by question 3, PanAmSat is herein making note of the decision in the interests of absolute candor and out of an abundance of caution. In any event, the Bureau‘s action with respect to PanAmSat does not reflect on its basic qualifications, which are well—established and a matter of public record.
