Engineering Statement
1   Introduction
Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) seeks authority in this application to operate the satellite
designated as Intelsat 16 from 58.1° W.L.

The characteristics of the Intelsat 16 spacecraft, as well as its compliance with the various
provisions of Part 25 of the Federal Communication Commission’s (“FCC or “Commission”)
rules, are provided in the remainder of this Engineering Statement, which updates the gain
contours and the operational frequency ranges and beams. In all other respects, the
characteristics of Intelsat 16 are the same as those described in SAT-MOD-20150105-00003.

2   Spacecraft Overview
Intelsat 16 is an Orbital Star-2 spacecraft that is capable of operating in Ku-band frequencies
listed below.

                                 Direction              Frequency
                                                    13750 – 14500 MHz

2.1 Spacecraft Characteristics
Intelsat 16 is a three-axis stabilized type spacecraft that has a rectangular outer body structure.
Intelsat 16 utilizes two deployable solar array wings and a number of deployable and non-
deployable antennas.

The Intelsat 16 spacecraft is composed of the following subsystems:

      •   Thermal
                                             Page 1 of 16


      •   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 all of the various
subsystems in order to avoid single-point failures.

The structural design of Intelsat 16 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 16 provides active communication channels at Ku-band frequencies. The Ku-band
payload employs channels having a bandwidth of 36 MHz. The Intelsat 16 frequencies,
polarization, and channel plan are provided in the Schedule S.

The coverage contours and performance characteristics of all Intelsat 16 beams are provided in
the Schedule S. Exhibits 1 and 2 provide the beam parameters for the Intelsat 16 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.

The Intelsat 16 command and telemetry channel frequencies are shown in Exhibit 3. 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 16 command and telemetry subsystem performance is
summarized in Exhibit 3.
                                           Page 2 of 16


2.4 Uplink Power Control Subsystem
Intelsat 16 utilizes two Ku-band channels for uplink power control (“ULPC”), antenna tracking,
and ranging. The coverage patterns of the 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. The Intelsat 16 ULPC frequencies and subsystem performance are summarized in
Exhibit 3.

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 will be 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
Intelsat 16 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 16 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”) limits for space stations operating in the 10950 – 11200 MHz
band are contained in Section 25.208 of the Commission’s rules. With respect to the frequency
band 10700 - 11450 MHz, there are PFD limits specified in No. 21.16 of the ITU Radio
Regulations. Neither the Commission’s rules nor the ITU Radio Regulations specify any PFD


                                           Page 3 of 16


limits for the 11700 – 12200 MHz band applicable to geostationary satellites operating in the
fixed satellite service.

The maximum PFD levels for the Intelsat 16 transmissions were calculated for the 10700– 11450
MHz bands. Since the Intelsat 16 telemetry and ULPC carriers are in the 11700 – 12200 MHz
band where no PFD limits specified, PFD levels for this band were not calculated. The results
are provided in Schedule S and show that the downlink power flux density levels of the Intelsat
16 carriers do not exceed the limits specified in Sections 25.208 of the Commission’s rules or the
limits specified in No. 21.16 of the ITU Radio Regulations.

5    Emission Compliance
Section 25.202(e) of the Commission’s rules requires that the carrier frequency of each space
station transmitter be maintained within 0.002% of the reference frequency. Intelsat 16 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 16 emissions.

6    Orbital Location
Intelsat requests that it be assigned the 58.1° W.L. orbital location for Intelsat 16. The 58.1°
W.L. location satisfies Intelsat 16 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    Coordination with Co-frequency Space Stations (REVISED)
The impact of the Intelsat 16 emissions on adjacent satellites located at 56.1°W.L. and 60.1º
W.L. was analyzed. The interference analysis was conducted for a number of representative
carriers at Ku-band frequencies. It was assumed that there were hypothetical satellites having
the same operating characteristics as Intelsat 16 at the 56.1° W.L. and 60.1° W.L. orbital
locations.

For the satellite located at 56.1º W.L., it was assumed that the adjacent satellites were Intelsat 16,
located at 58.1º W.L., and a hypothetical satellite having the same operating characteristics as
Intelsat 16 located at 54.1º W.L. 1 For the satellite located at 60.1º W.L., it was assumed that the

 At the time of submission of this application, there are no satellites located at 54.1°W.L. The use of satellites at
other locations the interference analysis would be inconsistent with a two-degree orbital separation environment and
policy.

                                                   Page 4 of 16


adjacent satellites were Intelsat 16, located at 58.1º W.L., and a hypothetical satellite having the
same operating characteristics as Intelsat 16 located at 62.1º W.L. 2

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) 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.

All assumptions and the results of the analysis are documented in Exhibits 4 and 5. The Intelsat
16 transmissions will comply with the levels contained in Sections 25.212(c) of the
Commission’s rules, as applicable, unless higher levels are coordinated with affected adjacent
satellite operators within ±6°. In any case, the uplink power density of the Intelsat 16 digital
carriers will not exceed the levels specified below:

         a) 13750 – 14500 MHz:                                          -44.8 dBW/Hz
         b) 12750 – 13250 MHz:                                          -46.5 dBW/Hz

The downlink EIRP density of Intelsat 16 digital carriers will not exceed the levels specified
below:

         a) 10700 – 10950 and 11200 - 11450 MHz:                        -20.1 dBW/Hz
         b) 10950 – 11200 MHz                                           -22.0 dBW/Hz
         c) 11700 – 12200:                                              -19.6 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

2
 At the time of submission of this application, there are no satellites located at 60.1°W.L. The use of satellites at
other locations the interference analysis would be inconsistent with a two-degree orbital separation environment and
policy.

                                                   Page 5 of 16


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
58.1° W.L., Intelsat 16 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 16, Intelsat will take all the necessary steps to coordinate the
move with other operators to minimize the risk of collision or interference between Intelsat 16
and any other satellite. 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 16. Intelsat is also not aware of any system with an overlapping
station-keeping volume with Intelsat 16 that is the subject of an ITU filing and that is either in
orbit or progressing towards launch.

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 300 kilometers above the geostationary arc. This altitude exceeds the
minimum altitude established by the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee
(“IADC”) formula. Intelsat has reserved 6.8 kilograms of fuel for this purpose. The reserved
fuel figure was determined by the spacecraft manufacturer and is provided for in the propellant
budget. This figure was calculated taking into account the expected mass of the satellite at the
end of life and the required delta-velocity to achieve the desired orbit. The fuel gauging
uncertainty has been taken into account in these calculations.
                                            Page 6 of 16


In calculating the disposal orbit, Intelsat has used simplifying assumptions as permitted under the
Commission’s Orbital Debris Report and Order. 3 For reference, the effective area to mass ratio
(Cr*A/M) of the Intelsat 16 spacecraft is 0.04 m2/kg, resulting in a minimum perigee disposal
altitude under the IADC formula of at most 280.4 kilometers above the geostationary arc.
Accordingly, the Intelsat 16 planned disposal orbit 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:
Castle Rock, Colorado and Fillmore, California. Additionally, Intelsat is capable of remotely
controlling Intelsat 16 from its facilities in McLean, VA.
