Dear Ms. Dortch:

         Skynet Satellite Corporation, a subsidiary of Telesat (collective1y “Telesat“),
hereby notifies the Commicsion that following commencement of preparations to remove
the Telstar 11 satellite (call sign S2670) to a disposal orbit Telesat discovered [hat the
satellite has experienced deterioration of a solar sensor. As a result, the reliability of
disposal removal would be enhanced by a software upgrade. Telesat anticipates that
additional time will be needed to complete preparations for the de-orbit maneuver.
Following completion of that maneuver, Telesat will file a letter notifying the
Commission of the Telstar I 1 satellite’s final orbital parameters.

the transaction. the authorimions held by Loral Skynet Corporation were transferred to Shy nct Satellite
Corporation. For convenience, this letter refers consistently t o Tclesat rather than Loral Shynet
Corporation or Shynet Satellite Corporation.
