Engineering Statement PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (*PanAmSat") proposes to operate its Galaxy 12 spacecraft from 125.10° WL. Galaxy 12 will utilize the 5925 — 6425 MHz and 3700 — 4200 MHz frequency bands. Galaxy 12 was originally licensed in March 2003 to operate from 74° WL (RCC File Nos: SAT—LOA—20000929—00136 & SAT—AMD—20021107— 00203). In March 2004, the Commission granted PanAmSat Special Temporary Authority to relocate Galaxy 12 to 125.25°WL [See FCC File No.: SAT—STA—20031224—00366]. Subsequently, in December 2004, the Commission granted PanAmSat Special Temporary Authority to relocate Galaxy 12 from 125.25° WL to 125.05° WL [See FCC File No.: SAT—STA— 20041208—00216]. The spacecraft currently operates from 125.05° WL. In October 2005, the Commission granted PanAmSat‘s license modification application, which had requested authority to relocate Galaxy 12 to 125.25° WL following the successful launch and operation of Galaxy 14 [See FCC File No.: SAT—MOD—20050815—00159]. PanAmSat had intended to operate Galaxy 12 at 125.25° W.L. to serve as an in—orbit back—up for the western edge of the U.S. arc. Shortly before PanAmSat‘s license modification application was granted, however, a determination was made to decommission SBS—4, which had been located at 124.95° W.L. This determination meant that PanAmSat would have additional stationkeeping flexibility, because it would only be operating two satellites in the vicinity of 125° WL (ie, Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 14) rather than three satellites (%e, SBS—4, Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 14).. Following an evaluation ofits options, PanAmSat determined. that it could optimize stationkeeping by locating Galaxy 12 at 125.10° WL and Galaxy 14 at 125.0° WL. Accordingly, PanAmSat proposes herein to operate Galaxy 12 from 125.10° WL. (PanAmSat is filing a separate modification application secking authority to operate Galaxy 14 from 125.0° 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 (for the 125.25° WL orbital location): (1) gain contours, (2) PFD levels and (3) link budget and interference analysis. Page 1 of5

Contours The coverage pattems for Galaxy 12 operating from the 125.25° WL orbital location were previously submitted in SAT—MOD—20050815—00159. The coverage pattems for Galaxy 12 operating from the proposed 125.10° WL orbital location are the same as those contained in SAT—MOD—20050815— 00159. Changing the proposed orbital location from 125.25° WIL to 125.10° WIL will produce no visible change in the gain contours.— 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 12 operating from the proposed 125.10° WL orbital location are presented in Exhibit 1. Link Budget and Interference Analysis The operational co—frequency satellites nearest to the proposed 125.10° WL orbital location are Galaxy 108, 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 FileNos._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 20.2 dBi in the direction of Galaxy 12 operating from 125.25° WL.. With Galaxy 12 operating from 125.10° WL, the off—axis gain of the receiving earth station would be 20.9 dBi. Hence there would be a resulting increase in the off—axis gain of the earth station antenna of 0.7 dB. Such an increase in the off—axis gain will not significantly change the interference environment of Galaxy 10R receiving earth stations. Similarly, the potential for interference from Galaxy 10R transmissions into Galaxy 12 receive earth stations would be substantially unchanged (0.7 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 22.9 dBi to 22.0 dBi — a decrease of 0.9 dB. Such a decrease in the off—axis gain of the Galaxy 13 receive earth station will not significantly change the interference environment of Galaxy 13 receiving earth stations. Similarly, Page 2 of 5

the potential for interference from Galaxy 13 transmissions into Galaxy 12 receiving earth stations would be substantially unchanged (0.9 dB variation). Given that the proposed relocation of Galaxy 12 would not result in any significant change to the interference environment as it pertains to Galaxy 12, Galaxy 10R and Galaxy 13, no link budget analysis is provided herein. In any case, given that Galaxy 10R, Galaxy 13 and Galaxy 12 are all Hicensed to PanAmSat, in the unlikely event that Galaxy 12 operating from 125.10° 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 12 data items that have changed from those that were shown in the Schedule S for SAT—MOD—20050812—00159; 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 Galaxy 12 at the 125.10° WL orbital location, because there would be no significant change in the Galaxy 12 links from this location as compared to those associated with 125.25° WL, which were provided in SAT—MOD—20050815—00159. Additionally, no contour gain pattems have been included in the Schedule S since there is no significant change from the coverage pattems already provided for Galaxy 12 (at 125.25° WL) in SAT—MOD—20050815—00159.

PanAmSat Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan PanAmSatis proactive in ensuring safe operation and disposalothis and all spaceeraft under iss control. The four elements of debris mitigation are addressed below: Spacecraft Hardware Design: The spacecraftis designed such that no debriswill be released during normal operations. PanAmSat has assessed the probability ofcollisions with meteoroids and other small debris (<1 em in diameter) and has taken the following steps t limit the effects of such callsions: (1) eriical spaceeraft components are located inside the protective body ofthe spacecraft and properly shielded: and (2) all spacecraft subsystems have redundant components to ensure no single—point failures. The spacecraft does not use any subsystems for end—of—lif disposal that are not used for normal operations. Minimizing Accidental Explosions: PanAmSat has assessed the probability ofaccidental explosions during and after completion of mission operations. The spaceeraftis designed in a manner to minimize the potentialfosuch explosions. Propellanttanks and thrusters are isolated using redundant valves and electrical power systems are shielded in accordance with standard industry practices. At the completion ofthe mission, and upon disposal oftspacecraft, PanAmSat will ensure the removal ofallstored cnergy on the spacecraft by depleting all propellant tanks, venting all pressurized systems, isolating the batteriesfrom the spaceczaft bus, and tuming offall active units. Safe Flight Profiles: PanAmSat has assessed and limited the probability ofthe space station becoming a source of debris s a result ofcollsions with lrge debris or other operational space stations. Except as stated below, Galaxy 12 will not be located atthe same orbital location as another satellte orat an orbita location that has an overlapping stationkeeping volume with another satelite. "The proposed orbitallocation for Galaxy 12 is 125.10° W.L. and PanAmSatis filing a modification application proposing t locate Galaxy 14 at 125° W.L. PanAmSat will coordinate the stationkecping ofestwo satelites, which will have tangent — but not overlapping —stationkeeping volumes. SES Americom has been authorized to launch and operate AMC—21 at 125° W.L. PanAmSat will coordinate with SEAmericom with respect to thstationkecping of PanAmSat‘s satelites and the stationkeeping ofAMC—21. PanAmSatis not aware ofany other FCC licensed system, or any other system applied for and under consideration by the FCC, having an overlapping stationkeeping volume with Galaxy 12. PanAmSat also is not aware of any system having an overlapping stationkeeping volume with Galaxy 12 that is thsubject ofan ITU filing and that is cither n orbit oprogressing towards launch.

Post—Mission Disposal: At the end ofthe mission, PanAmSat willdispose ofthe spaceeraft by moving it to a minimum altiude of 300 km above the GEO arc. This exceeds the minimum altitude established by the IADC formula. PanAmSat has reserved 5.4 kg of fuel for this purpose. TThe reserved fuel figure was determined by the spaceeraft manufacturer and provided for in the propellant budget. To calculate this figure, the manufacturer used the "rocket equation," «.it plugged in the expected mass ofhe satelite at end oflif and the required delis—velocity to achieve the desired orbit PanAmSat has assessed fuel gauging uncertainty and has provided an adequate margin of ffrl reserve to address the assessed uncertaity in remaining propellant In calculating the disposalorbi, PanAmSat has used simplifying assumptions as permited under the Commission‘s Orbital Debris Report and Order. For reference, the effective area to mass ratios (Cr*A/M ofthe spacecraf in PanAmSat‘s fleet are all less than or equal t 0.04198, resultig in a minimum perigec disposalatiude under the IADC formula ofat most 277.0 km above GEO, whichis lower than the 300 km above GBO disposalatitide specified by PanAmSatin thi fling.

PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ECC Form 312 Exhibit B Page 1 of 1 Exhibit B Response to Item 36 Regarding Cancelled Authorizations PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmat") 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 Cory., Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 00—1266, 15 FCC Red 18720 (IB 2000). in that same order, the Bureau denied related applications to modify the cancelled authorizations. PanAmSat filed an application for review of the Bureau‘s decision, which the Commission denied, and subsequentlfiled 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 36, 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.
