March 8, 2013 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Further Supplement to Application for Authority to Modify Intelsat 5 License Call Sign $2704; File No.: SAT—MOD—20121002—00176 Dear Ms. Dortch: In response to questions from the FCC staff, Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") hereby further supplements its above—referenced pending application to extend the license term for the Intelsat 5 satellite (call sign $2704) until December 31, 2020, the satellite‘s estimated end of service life. As Intelsat previously has noted,‘ the Intelsat 5 (f/k/a PAS—5) satellite has experienced the failure of both XIPS and is operating on its fully—redundant, back—up chemical propulsion system. There is no single point of failure on the satellite. As previously stated, there is no reason to believe the spacecraft will not continue to provide service to customers for the full extended license term requested. Please contact the undersigned should you have any further questions. Sincerely, Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation Coe: Bob Nelson Stephen Duall Jay Whaley Cindy Spiers | See Intelsat S.A., Annual Report (Form 10—K), at 22 (Feb. 28, 2013). * See Supplement to Application for Authority to Modify Intelsat 5, File No. SAT—MOD—20121002—00176 (filed Feb. 12, 2013).
