2.1 Spacecraft Characteristics
Intelsat 8 is a three-axis stabilized type spacecraft that has a rectangular outer body structure.
Intelsat 8 utilizes two deployable solar array wings and a number of deployable and non-
deployable antennas.

The Intelsat 8 spacecraft is composed of the following subsystems:

         Thermal
         Power
         Attitude Control
         Propulsion
         Telemetry, Command and Ranging
         Uplink Power Control
         Communications

These subsystems maintain the correct position and attitude of the spacecraft, ensure that all
internal units are maintained within the required temperature range, and ensure that the
spacecraft can be commanded and controlled with a high level of reliability from launch to the
end of its useful life. The spacecraft design incorporates redundancy in each of the various
subsystems in order to avoid single point failures.

The structural design of Intelsat 8 provides mechanical support for all subsystems. The structure
supports the communication antennas, solar arrays, and the thrusters. It also provides a stable
platform for preserving the alignment of critical elements of the spacecraft.

2.2 Communication Subsystem
Intelsat 8 provides active communication channels at C-band and Ku-band frequencies. The C-
band and Ku-band payloads employ channels having a bandwidth of 36 MHz. The Intelsat 8
frequencies, polarization, and channel plan are provided in the Schedule S.

                                            Page 2 of 20


The coverage contours and performance characteristics of all Intelsat 8 beams are provided in the
Schedule S. Exhibits 1 and 2 provide the beam parameters for the Intelsat 8 uplink and downlink
beams, respectively.

2.3 Telemetry, Command and Ranging Subsystem
The telemetry, command and ranging (“TC&R”) subsystem provides the following functions:

    1) Acquisition, processing and transmission of spacecraft telemetry data;

    2) Reception and retransmission of ground station generated ranging signals; and

    3) Reception, processing and distribution of telecommands.

Intelsat 8 can be commanded through the use of the command channel centered at the frequency
13998.0 MHz. The spacecraft telemetry is received through telemetry channels centered at the
frequencies 12747.0 MHz and 12748.0 MHz.

The coverage patterns of the command and telemetry beams have gain contours that vary by less
than 8 dB across the surface of the Earth and accordingly the gain at 8 dB below the peak falls
beyond the edge of the Earth. Therefore, pursuant to Section 25.114(c)(4)(vi)(A) of the FCC’s
rules, contours for these beams are not required to be provided and the associated GXT files have
not been included in Schedule S. The Intelsat 8 command and telemetry subsystem performance
is summarized in Exhibit 3.

2.4 Uplink Power Control Subsystem
Intelsat 8 utilizes one C-band channel, 3702.0 MHz, for uplink power control (“ULPC”), antenna
tracking, and ranging. The coverage patterns of the C-band ULPC beam has gain contours that
vary by less than 8 dB across the surface of the Earth and accordingly the gain at 8 dB below the
peak falls beyond the edge of the Earth. Therefore, pursuant to Section 25.114(c)(4)(vi)(A) of the
FCC’s rules, contours for this beam are not required to be provided and the associated GXT file has
not been included in Schedule S.

2.5 Satellite Station-Keeping
The spacecraft will be maintained within 0.05° of its nominal longitudinal position in the east-
west direction. Accordingly, it is in compliance with Section 25.210(j) of the Commission’s
rules.

The attitude of the spacecraft will be maintained with accuracy consistent with the achievement
of the specified communications performance, after taking into account all error sources (i.e.,
attitude perturbations, thermal distortions, misalignments, orbital tolerances and thruster
perturbations, etc.).

3   Services

                                           Page 3 of 20


Intelsat 8 is a general purpose communications satellite and has been designed to support various
services offered within the Intelsat satellite system. Depending upon the needs of the users, the
transponders on Intelsat 8 can accommodate television, radio, voice, and data communications.
Typical communication services include:

    a) Compressed digital video

    b) High speed digital data

    c) Digital single channel per carrier (“SCPC”) data channels

Emission designators and allocated bandwidths for representative communication carriers are
provided in Schedule S.

4   Power Flux Density
The power flux density (“PFD”) levels contained in Schedule S are identical to those provided in
SAT-MOD-20120619-00100 and SAT-AMD-20120815-00131.

5   Emission Compliance
Section 25.202(e) of the rules requires that the carrier frequency of each space station transmitter
be maintained within 0.002% of the reference frequency. Intelsat 8 is designed to be compliant
with the provisions of this rule.

Intelsat will comply with the provisions of Section 25.202(f) of the Commission’s rules with
regard to Intelsat 8 emissions.

6   Orbital Location
Intelsat requests that it be assigned the 168.9° E.L. orbital location for Intelsat 8. The 168.9°
E.L. location satisfies Intelsat 8 requirements for optimizing coverage, elevation angles, and
service availability. Additionally, the location also ensures that the maximum operational,
economic, and public interest benefits will be derived.

7   Interference Analysis
The impact of the proposed Intelsat 8 emissions on the transmissions of adjacent satellites
located at 166.9° E.L. and 170.9º E.L. was analyzed. The interference analysis was conducted
for a number of representative carriers at C-band and Ku-band frequencies. It was assumed that




                                            Page 4 of 20


there were hypothetical satellites having the same operating characteristics as Intelsat 8 at the
166.9° E.L. 3 and 170.9 E.L. orbital locations.

For the satellite located at 166.9º E.L., it was assumed that the adjacent satellites were Intelsat 8,
located at 168.9º E.L., and a hypothetical satellite having the same operating characteristics as
Intelsat 8 located at 164.9º E.L.4 For the satellite located at 170.9º E.L., it was assumed that the
adjacent satellites were Intelsat 8, located at 168.9º E.L., and a hypothetical satellite having the
same operating characteristics as Intelsat 8 located at 172.9º E.L.5

Other assumptions made for the interference 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) and (2) of the FCC 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) Rain attenuation predictions are derived using Recommendation ITU-R P.618.
    d) Increase in noise temperature of the receiving earth station due to rain is taken into
       account.
    e) For the cases where the transponder operates in a multi-carrier mode, the effects due to
       intermodulation interference are taken into account.

Results of the analysis are documented in Exhibits 4 and 5. The Intelsat 8 transmissions will be
limited to those levels contained in Sections 25.212(c) and (d) of the Commission’s rules, as
applicable, unless higher levels are coordinated with affected adjacent satellite operators. In any
case, the uplink power density of the Intelsat 8 digital carriers will not exceed the levels specified
below:

         a) 5925 – 6425 MHz:                  -38.7 dBW/Hz
         b) 14000 – 14500 MHz:                -45.0 dBW/Hz


3
 At the time of submission of this application, Luch-5A is located at 167° E.L. Its frequency plan overlaps Intelsat 8
in the 12500 – 12750 MHz band. Luch-5A was not included in the interference analysis because it is not licensed
by the U.S., nor does it have U.S. market access. Intelsat is coordinating the use of the overlapping frequencies
pursuant to ITU rules.
4
  At the time of submission of this application, Intelsat 19 is located at 166.0E.L. Intelsat 19 is not included in the
interference analysis because it is less than 2 away from 166.9 E.L., and so its use in the interference analysis
would be inconsistent with a two-degree orbital separation environment and policy.
5
  Other satellites in the vicinity of 166.9 E.L. and 170.9 E.L. were not included in the interference analysis because
they are not licensed by the U.S., nor do they have U.S. market access. Intelsat is coordinating the use of any
overlapping frequencies pursuant to ITU rules.


                                                     Page 5 of 20


The downlink EIRP density of Intelsat 8 digital carriers will not exceed the levels specified
below:

       a) 3700 – 4200 MHz:             -32.0 dBW/Hz
       b) 12250 – 12750 MHz:           -18.0 dBW/Hz

8   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.

8.1 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.

8.2 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. Intelsat will 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.

8.3 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. Once relocated to
168.9° E.L., Intelsat 8 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.

During the relocation of Intelsat 8, Intelsat will coordinate the Intelsat 8 transmissions internally
with the operations of Intelsat 805. There are no other operators of co-frequency satellites in the
drift path. Intelsat is not aware of any other FCC licensed system, or any other system applied
for and under consideration by the FCC, that will have an overlapping station-keeping volume
with Intelsat 8. Intelsat is also not aware of any system with an overlapping station-keeping
volume with Intelsat 8 that is the subject of an ITU filing and that is either in orbit or progressing
towards launch.


                                            Page 6 of 20


8.4 Post Mission Disposal
At the end of the mission, Intelsat expects to dispose of the spacecraft by moving it to a planned
minimum altitude of 150 kilometers (perigee) above the geostationary arc. Intelsat has reserved
26.1 kilograms of fuel for this purpose. The propellant gauging uncertainty has been taken into
account in these calculations. In addition to the nominal hold‐back and reserves provided to us
by the manufacturer, Intelsat propulsion engineers review the current propellant usage –
particularly the mixing ratio – to properly allocate sufficient margin to account for unavailable
propellant that may result from a non‐optimal mixing ratio. In addition, Intelsat performs thermal
gauging near the spacecraft’s end of life by inferring the remaining propellant from the thermal
signature. Section 25.283(d) of the Commission’s rules states that satellites launched prior to
March 18, 2002, such as Intelsat 8, are not expected to meet the minimum perigee requirement of
Section 25.283(a). Therefore, the Intelsat 8 post-mission disposal plan complies with the FCC’s
rules.

9   TC&R Control Earth Stations
Intelsat will conduct TC&R operations through one or more of the following earth stations:
Fillmore, CA; Paumalu, Hawaii; Lockridge, Australia; or Mingenew, Australia. Additionally,
Intelsat is capable of remotely controlling Intelsat 8 from its facilities in McLean, VA or in Long
Beach, CA.
