                             Engineering Statement

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) proposes to operate its Galaxy 12
spacecraft from 129° W.L. From this orbital location, Galaxy 12 will utilize
the 5925 – 6425 MHz and 3700 – 4200 MHz frequency bands to provide
service to the United States.

Galaxy 12 is currently authorized to operate from 133º W.L. (see FCC File
Nos.: SAT-MOD-20100120-00013 and SAT-AMD-20100514-00102).
Intelsat now proposes to relocate Galaxy 12 from 132.9º W.L. to 129º W.L..1

To take the impact of this proposed change in orbital location into account,
this engineering statement provides the following technical information 1)
frequency plan, 2) gain contours, (3) power flux density levels, (4) Galaxy
12 link budget and interference analysis, (5) adjacent satellite link analysis
and (6) orbital debris mitigation plan.

1) Frequency Plan
The Galaxy 12 frequency and beam switching plans are provided in Exhibits
1A and 1B. From the 129° W.L. orbital location, the primary channel
configuration (as designated in Exhibit 1A) will be implemented on Galaxy
12.

2) Gain Contours
The coverage patterns for Galaxy 12 operating at the proposed 129° W.L.
orbital location are provided in Exhibits 2A through 2J.

3) Power Flux Density (“PFD”) Levels
The power flux density limits for space stations are specified in Section
25.208 of the Commission’s rules. In the 3700 – 4200 MHz band, the
maximum PFD level at the Earth’s surface produced by Galaxy 12 was
calculated for a 36 MHz digital carrier (having an occupied bandwidth of
30.133 MHz) and a 36 MHz analog TV/FM carrier, which typically generate
the highest PFD levels. The power flux density level for the Galaxy 12
telemetry carriers was also calculated. The results are provided in Exhibit 3

 Intelsat intends to temporarily move Galaxy 12 from 133° W.L. to 132.9° W.L. before
drifting the satellite from 132.9° W.L. to 129° W.L. Request for Special Temporary
Authority for Galaxy 12, Call Sign: S2422, File No. SAT-STA-20110915-00183 (filed

and show that the downlink power flux density levels of the Galaxy 12
carriers do not exceed limits specified in Section 25.208 of the
Commission’s rules.

4) Galaxy 12 Link Budget and Interference Analysis

Link analysis for Galaxy 12 was conducted for a number of representative
carriers. For the analysis, it was assumed that the nearest co-frequency
satellites to Galaxy 12 were Galaxy 13 and AMC-11. Galaxy 13 is licensed
to Intelsat and operates at 127º W.L. The technical characteristics of Galaxy
13 are contained in FCC file number SAT-AMD-20030228-00020. AMC-
11 is licensed to SES World Skies and operates from 131º W.L. The
technical characteristics of the C-band payload of AMC-11 are contained in
FCC file number SAT-LOA-20020104-00002.

The uplink power density of the emissions of Galaxy 13 and AMC-11 was
assumed to be -38.7 dBW/Hz, the maximum level specified in Section
25.212(d) of the Commission’s rules for digital C-band carriers. Other
assumptions made for the link budget analysis were as follows:

   a) In the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit, all transmitting and
      receiving earth station antennas have off-axis co-polar gains that are
      compliant with the limits specified in Section 25.209(a)(1) of the
      FCC’s rules.
   b) All transmitting and receiving earth stations have a cross-polarization
      isolation value of at least 30 dB within their main beam lobe.
   c) Degradation due to rain was not considered, given that rain
      (attenuation) effects are insignificant at C-band.

The impact of the TV/FM carriers from the adjacent satellites at 127° W.L.
and 131° W.L on the transmissions of Galaxy 12 was not considered due to
the fact that TV/FM carriers are known to be high-density carriers with most
of the energy contained within the near vicinity of the carrier center
frequency.     Operation of sensitive narrow-band carriers is typically
precluded within these high power density areas of the TV/FM carrier.
Accordingly, placement and operation of TV/FM carriers are normally
achieved through internal coordination and/or coordination discussions with
the adjacent satellite operator, whichever may be the case, rather than
through C/I calculations – since the results of such calculations would show



                                 Page 2 of 23


that narrow-band carriers typically could not operate on a co-frequency basis
with TV/FM carriers.

The results of the C-band analyses are shown in Exhibit 4 and demonstrate
that operation of the Galaxy 12 satellite from 129º W.L. would permit the
intended services to achieve their respective performance objectives while
maintaining sufficient link margin. Additionally, the uplink power density
levels of the carriers listed in Exhibit 4 comply with the limits contained in
Section 25.212(d) of the Commission’s rules.

5) Adjacent Satellite Link Analysis
At C- band, the impact of the proposed Galaxy 12 emissions on the
transmissions of Galaxy 13 and AMC-11 was analyzed. For Galaxy 13, it
was assumed that nearest co-frequency satellites were Galaxy 12 and Galaxy
14. Galaxy 14 is licensed to Intelsat and operates from 125º W.L. The
technical characteristics of this spacecraft are contained in FCC file number
SAT-AMD-20030827-00283.

For the AMC-11 link analysis, it was assumed that the nearest co-frequency
satellites were Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 15. Galaxy 15 is licensed to Intelsat
and operates at 133º W.L. The technical characteristics of Galaxy 15 are
contained in FCC file numbers SAT-AMD-20031103-00320 and SAT-
AMD-20040603-00111).

The impact of Galaxy 12 emissions on the TV/FM carriers of Galaxy 13 and
AMC-11 was not considered for the reasons articulated in section 4.
Additionally, the assumptions made in section 4 pertaining to Earth station
off-axis gain performance, Earth station cross-polarization performance and
rain attenuation were also applied in the analysis.

The results of the analysis are listed in Exhibits 5 and 6. The Galaxy 12
transmissions will be limited to those levels contained in Sections 25.212(d)
unless higher levels are coordinated with affected adjacent satellite
operators. In any case, pursuant to the results in Exhibits 5 and 6, the uplink
power density of the Galaxy 12 digital carriers operating in the 5925 – 6425
MHz band will not exceed -38.7 dBW/Hz. Within the 3700 – 4200 MHz
band the downlink EIRP density of the Galaxy 12 digital carriers will not
exceed -30.6 dBW/Hz.

6) Schedule S Submission
Intelsat 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-AMD-20100514-00102; and
(2) data items whose inclusion was required in order for the software
application to function properly.

7) Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan
Intelsat is proactive in ensuring safe operation and disposal of this and all
spacecraft under its control. The four elements of debris mitigation are
addressed below.

7.1) Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan: Spacecraft Hardware Design
The spacecraft is designed such that no debris will be released during normal
operations. Intelsat has assessed the probability of collision with meteoroids
and other small debris (<1 cm diameter) and has taken the following steps to
limit the effects of such collisions: (1) critical 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-point failures. The spacecraft does not use any subsystems for end-
of-life disposal that are not used for normal operations.

7.2) Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan: Minimizing Accidental Explosions
Intelsat has assessed the probability of accidental explosions during and after
completion of mission operations. The spacecraft is designed in a manner to
minimize the potential for such explosions. Propellant tanks and thrusters
are isolated using redundant valves and electrical power systems are
shielded in accordance with standard industry practices. At the completion
of the mission, and upon disposal of the spacecraft, Intelsat will, with the
exception of the oxidizer tanks, ensure the removal of all stored energy on
the spacecraft by depleting all propellant tanks, venting all pressurized
systems, and turning off all active units.

As explained in Intelsat’s filing SAT-MOD-20080630-00133, upon
completion of the Galaxy 12 orbit raising maneuver, the oxidizer tanks are
isolated from both the Liquid Apogee Motor (“LAE”) and Dual Mode
Thrusters (“DMTs”). Typically, some residual oxidizer remains in the tank
following the isolation. It is anticipated that less than 11 kilograms of
oxidizer is carried throughout the mission (less than 2.5% fill fraction).



                                 Page 4 of 23


Venting both fuel and pressurant through thrusters at the end of the mission
minimizes the risk of reaction between fuel and oxidizer. Also, oxidizer
remaining in the propellant manifolds between the pyro valves and the
LAE/DMT thrusters will be expelled at the end of life by performing an
engine pulsing maneuver. The risk of an explosive reaction is further
reduced by isolating the oxidizer tanks from the remainder of the propulsion
system. In addition, at the worst case end of life temperature, with a 2.5%
fill fraction, the pressure in the oxidizer tank will not exceed its burst
pressure.

Accordingly, Intelsat requests that the waiver of Section 25.283(c) of the
Commission’s rules previously granted to the Galaxy 12 spacecraft for
operation at 133º W.L. continue to apply at the 129.0º W.L. location.

7.3) Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan: Safe Flight Profiles
Intelsat has assessed and limited the probability of the space station
becoming a source of debris as a result of collisions with large debris or
other operational space stations.

Galaxy 12 will not be located at the same orbital location as another satellite
or at an orbital location that has an overlapping station-keeping volume with
another satellite. Intelsat is not aware of any other FCC licensed system, or
any other system applied for and under consideration by the FCC, having an
overlapping station-keeping volume with Galaxy 12. Intelsat is also not
aware of any satellite network with an overlapping station-keeping volume
with Galaxy 12 that is the subject of an ITU filing and that is either in orbit
or progressing towards launch.

It is noted that Canada has ITU filings for a number of space networks at
129º W.L. There is currently only one Canadian satellite, CIEL-2, which
operates at the nominal orbital location of 129º W.L. However, the actual
orbital location of CIEL-2 is 128.8º W.L, and as best as can be determined,
the position of this spacecraft is maintained to within ±0.05º of this orbital
location. Consequently, there would be no overlap of the station-keeping
volumes of Galaxy 12 and CIEL-2.

7.4) Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan: Post Mission Disposal
At the end of the mission, Intelsat intends to dispose the spacecraft by
moving it to a minimum altitude of 300 kilometers above the geostationary
arc. This exceeds the minimum altitude established by the IADC formula.

                                 Page 5 of 23


Intelsat has reserved 6.8 kilograms of fuel for this purpose. The reserved
fuel figure will be provided for in the propellant budget. To calculate this
figure, the “rocket equation” was used, taking into account the expected
mass of the satellite at the end of life and the required delta-velocity to
achieve the desired orbit. Intelsat has assessed the fuel gauging uncertainty
and has provided an adequate margin of fuel reserve to address the assessed
uncertainty in remaining propellant.

In calculating the disposal orbit, Intelsat 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) of the Galaxy 12
spacecraft is 0.03 m2/kg, resulting in a minimum perigee disposal altitude
according to the IADC formula of at most 238.2 kilometers above the
geostationary arc. This is lower than the 300 kilometer above geostationary
disposal altitude specified by Intelsat in this filing. Accordingly, the Galaxy
12 planned disposal orbit complies with the FCC’s rules.
