                    APPLICATION OF PANAMSAT LICENSEE CORP.
                    TO MODIFY AUTHORIZATION FOR GALAXY 11

       PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (“PanAmSat”), pursuant to Section 25.117 of the rules of the

Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”), 47 C.F.R. § 25.117, hereby

seeks to modify the authorization for the Galaxy 11 satellite (call sign S2253). Specifically, this

modification application seeks authority to relocate Galaxy 11 to, and to operate the satellite at,

304.5° E.L. (55.5° W.L.) in mid-2011.

       In accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s rules,1 this application has

been filed electronically as an attachment to FCC Form 312. PanAmSat provides the technical

information relating to the proposed modification on Schedule S and in narrative form, as

contained in the attached Engineering Statement, pursuant to Section 25.114 of the

Commission’s rules.2

I.     PROPOSED MODIFICATION

       By this modification application, PanAmSat requests authority to relocate Galaxy 11 to,

and operate the satellite at, 304.5° E.L. (55.5° W.L.). Galaxy 11 currently is licensed to operate

       47 C.F.R. § 25.117(c).
2
       47 C.F.R. § 25.114.


at 32.80° E.L.,3 where it will be replaced by the New Dawn satellite (call sign S2751) in mid-

2011.4 Once traffic transfer from Galaxy 11 to Intelsat New Dawn has been completed, and

upon receipt of Commission approval, PanAmSat intends to relocate Galaxy 11 to 304.5º E.L. in

late June 2011 and begin operating the satellite at that location in August 2011.

       At 304.5° E.L., the Galaxy 11 will replace the Intelsat 705 satellite (call sign S2395),

which is expected to operate temporarily at 304.6° E.L. (55.4° W.L.), subject to receipt of FCC

approval.5 Intelsat anticipates de-orbiting the Intelsat 705 satellite from the 304.6° E.L.

location.6 Galaxy 11 will also be located in the same station-keeping box as Intelsat 805 (call

sign S2404), which is operated by Intelsat North America LLC – a sister company of

PanAmSat.7

II.    PUBLIC INTEREST SHOWING

       Grant of this modification will serve the public interest. At 304.5° E.L., Galaxy 11 will

have sufficient power to operate a significant subset of its transponders through its design life,

which is April 2015. Thus, grant of this modification application will enable PanAmSat to

provide customers an additional four to five years of service following the planned de-orbit of

Intelsat 705. Moreover, approval of this proposed deployment plan will ensure that there are no

service interruptions for customers on that satellite. Overall, the proposed co-location of Galaxy

11 and Intelsat 805 will best meet the capacity needs of customers in this region.

       Moreover, grant of this modification application will not result in increased risk of

harmful interference. The 304.5° E.L. orbital location has been assigned to Intelsat,8 and

PanAmSat will operate Galaxy 11 at 304.5° E.L. in accordance with Intelsat’s existing

coordination agreements and the FCC’s rules governing operations at that location vis-à-vis

adjacent locations. PanAmSat notes that Galaxy 11 contains the bands 13.75-14.00 GHz and

11.95-12.2 GHz, which are not currently licensed on Intelsat 805, and which will not be

authorized on Intelsat 705 at 304.6° E.L. because they are not on the satellite.

III.   TECHNICAL WAIVERS

       As described in the attached Engineering Statement, PanAmSat requests waiver, to the

extent necessary, of the following technical rules: (1) Section 25.114(d)(3) of the Commission’s

rules, which requires submission of the coverage map of the satellite’s beam pattern in a certain

format; and (2) Sections 25.114(d)(14)(ii) and 25.283(c) of the Commission’s rules, which

require that spacecraft are able to vent all pressurized systems at end of life. Under Section 1.3

Launch, and Operate C-Band and Ku-Band Satellites that Form a Global Communications
System in Geostationary Orbit, 15 FCC Rcd 15460 (2000) (Memorandum Opinion Order and
Authorization), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 25234 (2000) (Order on Reconsideration).

of the Commission’s rules, the Commission has authority to waive its rules “for good cause

shown.”9 Good cause exists if “special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule

and such deviation will serve the public interest” better than adherence to the general rule.10 In

determining whether waiver is appropriate, the Commission should “take into account

considerations of hardship, equity, or more effective implementation of overall policy.”11 As

shown below, there is good cause for all of the requested waivers.


       A.      Request for Waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3)

       To the extent necessary,12 PanAmSat requests a waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3), which

requires that the space station antenna gain contour(s) for each transmit and receive antenna

beam 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. As explained

more fully on pages 1 through 3 of the attached Engineering Statement, PanAmSat requests a

waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3) with respect to Galaxy 11’s TT&C bicone and pipe antenna

beams (Exhibits 2R, 2S, 2U and 2V in the Engineering Statement), as well as with respect to its

ULPC global horn antenna (Exhibits 2X and 2Y in the Engineering Statement). The satellite

12
        The Commission has not required a specific waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3) when
presented previously with information similar to that which is contained in PanAmSat’s
Engineering Statement. See, e.g., Application For Modification of Authority to Launch and
Operate Intelsat 11, File No. SAT-MOD-20070207-00027 (filed Feb. 2, 2007); Policy Branch
Info. Actions Taken, Public Notice, 22 FCC Rcd 17,776, 17,776 (2007) (granting, with
conditions, modification authority for the IS-11); Application for Authority to Launch and
Operate a Replacement Satellites at 123° W.L., File No. SAT-RPL-20070222-00035 (filed Feb.
22, 2007); Policy Branch Info. Actions Taken, Public Notice, 22 FCC Rcd 18,930, 18,930 (2007)
(granting operational authority for Galaxy 18 at 123° W.L.).

manufacturer does not provide the beam patterns in the required form. PanAmSat provides a

descriptive characterization of these beams on pages 1 through 3 of the Engineering Statement.

To the extent necessary, there is good cause to waive Section 25.114(d)(3) because in this case

PanAmSat’s descriptive characterization, coupled with the beam patterns provided by the

manufacturer, fulfill the informational requirements of Section 25.114(d)(3). In addition,

granting the requested waiver would be consistent with precedent. The FCC has previously

waived Section 25.114(d)(3) in similar circumstances.13


        B.      Request for Waiver of Sections 25.114(d)(14)(ii) and 25.283(c)

        Additionally, PanAmSat requests a waiver of Sections 25.114(d)(14)(ii) and 25.283(c) of

the Commission’s rules. These rules require an applicant to demonstrate that all stored energy

will be vented at the spacecraft’s end of life.14 Galaxy 11 is a Boeing model 702 spacecraft that

is not designed to vent all pressurized systems. Instead, the pressurant for the Galaxy 11 satellite

that was used during orbit raising was permanently isolated from the propulsion system by firing

a pyrotechnic valve at beginning of on-orbit life such that the residual gas (about 5%) cannot be

vented at end of life.

        Waiver is appropriate in this case because grant would not undermine the purpose of

these rules, which is to reduce the risk of accidental explosion and post de-orbit debris. As

explained on pages 6 and 7 of the attached Engineering Statement, PanAmSat will ensure that all

active units on the Galaxy 11 satellite are turned off and that all propellant tanks are depleted. In

addition, the satellite’s manufacturer, Boeing, has designed the Galaxy 11 spacecraft so that risk

                                                 -5-


of accidental explosion causing additional orbital debris is minimal. First, the risk of accidental

explosions is minimized because the pressures will be very low at end of life of the satellite,

especially after the spacecraft is powered down and the temperature in the tanks drops.

Additionally, Boeing has designed the tanks so that they leak before they burst. If a leak were to

occur, there would not be sufficient energy in the gas stream to damage structurally the

spacecraft and generate debris. Moreover, a leak would not significantly perturb the satellite’s

orbit because the expulsion of the pressurant gas would cause the spacecraft to tumble and the

change in the spacecraft’s velocity (i.e., the thrust) would be randomly distributed, with the

resulting impact on the satellite orbit’s apogee and perigee being very small.

       Grant of the waiver is also supported on hardship grounds.15 The pressurant tank on the

Galaxy 11 satellite was permanently sealed off following the completion of launch transfer orbit

via a pyro valve, and consequently cannot be vented at the satellite’s end-of-life. Galaxy 11 is an

in-orbit spacecraft. As such, a design change cannot be accomplished at this time. Avoiding

such hardship is particularly appropriate where, as here, the licensee acted in good faith.

Specifically, the Galaxy 11 satellite was licensed, launched, and operational prior to adoption of

the rule requiring discharge of remaining fuel at end-of-life.16 Under these circumstances, good

cause exists to waive Sections 25.114(d)(14)(ii) and 25.283(c).


15
         The FCC has previously waived Section 25.283(c) of its rules when modification of a
satellite would present an undue hardship given the late stage of satellite construction. See, e.g.,
Modification to Relocate Horizons 2 from 74.0 to 74.05 W.L., File No. SAT-MOD-20070628-
00090 (grant stamp with conditions Nov. 30, 2007).
16
        The Commission originally granted PanAmSat authority to launch the Galaxy 11 satellite
on February 25, 2000. See PanAmSat Licensee Corp.; Application for Authority to Launch and
Operate a Hybrid Replacement Fixed Satellite Serv. Space Station, Order and Authorization, 15
FCC Rcd 22,156 (2000). The Galaxy 11 satellite in fact was launched and began operations
prior to the grant of this Order, operating under Special Temporary Authority granted in 1999.

The Commission’s orbital debris mitigation rule requiring discharge of all propellant, Section
25.283(c), was adopted in an order released June 21, 2004, Mitigation of Orbital Debris, Second
Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 11567 (2004), that became effective October 12, 2004.

        Although Intelsat 705 also has the bands 12.5-12.75 GHz, Intelsat does not plan to use
these frequencies on Intelsat 705 at 304.6° E.L.


                                                 -7-


       This chart shows that, with the exception of the band 11450-11700 GHz, the replacement

of the Intelsat 705 satellite by the Galaxy 11 satellite will not leave any frequencies vacant at the

nominal 304.5° E.L. orbital location. The Galaxy 11 satellite will use the 13750-14000 MHz and

11950-12200 MHz frequency bands, which have not previously been authorized for use by

PanAmSat at this orbital location and are not part of the pending Intelsat 705 application. In

addition, the Galaxy 11 satellite will operate in the 10950-11200 MHz, 11700-11950 MHz, and

14250-14500 MHz frequency bands, which are not on the Intelsat 805 satellite but are part of the

pending Intelsat 705 application.


V.     REQUEST FOR GRANT WITHOUT MILESTONES OR A BOND

       The International Bureau should grant this application without imposing milestones18 or a

bond.19 Because Galaxy 11 already is in-orbit and operating, all milestones for this satellite have

been satisfied and PanAmSat is not required to post a bond.20 Indeed, the Commission has

granted similar applications for in-orbit satellites without imposing milestones or a bond.21

                                     Exhibit A
               FCC Form 312, Response to Question 34: Foreign Ownership

        The Commission previously approved the foreign ownership in PanAmSat Licensee
Corp. See Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. and Serafina Holdings Limited, Consolidated Application for
Consent to Transfer of Control of Holders of Title II and Title III Authorizations, Memorandum
Opinion and Order, 22 FCC Rcd 22,151 (2007) (“Intelsat-Serafina Order”). In December 2009,
the Commission also approved certain pro forma changes in PanAmSat’s foreign ownership.
There have been no other material changes to the foreign ownership since the date of the
Intelsat-Serafina Order.


                                      Exhibit B
            FCC Form 312, Response to Question 36: Cancelled Authorizations

PanAmSat Licensee Corp. has never had an FCC license “revoked.”

However, on June 26, 2000, the International Bureau “cancelled” two Ka-band satellite
authorizations issued to PanAmSat Licensee Corp. based on the Bureau’s finding that PanAmSat
Licensee Corp. had not satisfied applicable construction milestones. See PanAmSat Licensee
Corp., Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 00-1266, 15 FCC Rcd 18720 (IB 2000). In that
same order, the Bureau denied related applications to modify the cancelled authorizations.
PanAmSat Licensee Corp. filed 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
Licensee Corp.’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 Licensee Corp. is herein
making note of the decision in the interest of absolute candor and out of an abundance of caution.
In any event, the Bureau’s action with respect to PanAmSat Licensee Corp. does not reflect on
PanAmSat Licensee Corp.’s basic qualifications, which are well-established and a matter of
public record.


                                           Exhibit C
                           FCC Form 312, Response to Question 40:
