                            Washington, D.C. 20554

In the Matter of Application of

PANAMSAT CORPORATION                                     File No.

To Modify the License of the SBS—6
Communications Satellite
to Extend the License Term

   APPLICATION FOR LICENSE MODIFICATION OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
            REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

      PanAmSat Corporation ("PanAmSat") hereby submits this application for
modification of the license for its SBS—6, Ku—band fixed—satellite service space station to
extend the license term. In the alternative, PanAmSat requests a grant of special
temporary authority ("STA") to continue to operate its SBS—6 for a period of 180 days
following the expiration of its license term.

       The SBS—6 satellite was placed into service on November 1, 1990. Pursuant to
Section 25.121(a) & (d)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, the license term for SBS—6 will
therefore expire on November 1, 2000.

      Since becoming operational, the SBS—6 satellite has played a vital role in
PanAmSat‘s global satellite fleet. PanAmSat anticipates that SBS—6 will continue to .
provide service from its assigned location of 74° W.L. for a number of years.

       PanAmSat requests that the Commission modify the license for SBS—6 to extend
its term of operation at 74° W.L. until the earlier of: (1) five years from the license
expiration date; or (2) the date that a replacement for SBS—6 has been successfully placed
into orbit and its operations fully conform to the terms and conditions of its space
station radio authorization. Grant of this request will serve the public interest by
allowing the public to continue receiving services from the SBS—6 satellite. Significantly,
grant of this application will not have any adverse effect on other users of the orbital
arc.

       In the alternative, PanAmSat requests STA for a period of 180 days so that
PanAmSat may continue to provide service to customers on the SBS—6 satellite
following the expiration of its license. In light of the expected remaining useful life of
SBS—6, grant of a modification of the license term would be significantly less


                                              2.


   burdensome on the Commission than the issuance of an STA, which would entail the
   processing of requests every six months to renew or extend the STA.

                                       CONCLUSION

          For the foregoing reasons, the Commission should modify the license for
   PanAmSat‘s SBS—6 satellite to extend the license term of that satellite or, in the
   alternative, grant PanAmSat STA to continue to operate SBS—6 for a period of 180 days
   following the expiration of the satellite‘s license term.

           The undersigned certifies individually and for PanAmSat that the statements
   made in this application are true, complete, and correct to the best of his knowledge and
   belief, and are made in good faith. The undersigned also certifies that neither
   PanAmSat nor any party to this application is subject to a denial of federal benefits
   pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § 862.

                                            Respectfully submitted, |

PanAmSat Corporation                                          Exhibit A
                                                              FCC Form 312


       In response to question 36 of FCC Form 312, PanAmSat Corporation
("PanAmSat") never has had an FCC license "revoked." However, on June 26,
2000, the International Bureau "cancelled" two Ka—band satellite authorizations
held by PanAmSat Licensee Corp., a PanAmSat subsidiary, based on its finding
that PanAmSat Licensee Corp. had not satisfied applicable construction
milestones. See PanAmSat Licensee Corp., File Nos. 198/199—S5AT—P /LA—95 et
al., Memorandum Opinion and Order (rel. June 26, 2000). In that same order, the
Bureau denied related applications to modify the cancelled authorizations.
PanAmSat has filed an application for review of the Bureau‘s decision.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Bureau‘s action does not seem to be the kind of
revocation action contemplated by question 36, PanAmSat is herein making note
of the decision in the interests of absolute candor and out of an abundance of
caution.

       In any event, the Bureau‘s action does not reflect on PanAmSat‘s basic
qualifications to be an FCC licensee, nor does it relate in anyway to the instant
application. PanAmSat operates the PanAmSat and Galaxy satellite systems,
which are comprised of a number of commercial communications satellites
spanning the globe. Using these satellites, PanAmSat and its predecessors have
provided a wide variety of reliable satellite services for many years. PanAmSat‘s
qualifications to be an FCC—licensee are, therefore, well—established and a matter
of public record.


 PanAmSat Corporation                                            Exhibit B
                                                                 FCC Form 312
                                                                 Page 1

        1. Hughes Electronics Corporation ("HE") indirectly owns over 80% of
the issued and outstanding stock of PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat").
HE Holdings, Inc. ("HEH"), a wholly—owned subsidiary of HE formerly known
as Hughes Aircraft Company, pled guilty to two felony counts in 1990. The full
details of this matter are included in a Form 430 for Hughes Communications
Galaxy, Inc., dated August 19, 1991.

        On June 15, 1992, HEH was found guilty of one felony count with regard
to the testing of microelectronics components. The full details of this matter are
included in a Form 430 for Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc., dated August
12, 1992.

        The conduct at issue in these two cases has no relevance to the FCC
authorizations and applications of PanAmSat. HEH was merged into the
Raytheon Company in 1997 and therefore is no longer affiliated with PanAmSat
or any party to this application. HE, moreover, had no ownership interest in the
PanAmSat system when the conduct occurred at HEH. In addition, conduct in
these matters is wholly unrelated to the communications area and does not
reflect in any way upon the FCC—related activity of PanAmSat, whose operations
were largely independent of HEH during the period when HEH was a
subsidiary of HE.                                           ‘

       .2. On or about February 1, 2000, EchoStar Communications Corp. and
related entities ("EchoStar") filed an action in the District Court for the District of
 Colorado, naming, among others, DirecTV Enterprises, Inc., DirecTV, Inc.,
 DirecTV Merchandising, Inc., DIRECTV Operations, Inc. ("DirecTV,"
collectively), Hughes Network Systems (a division of Hughes Electronics Corp.)
and another, unrelated entity. DirecTV and Hughes Global Services, Inc. are
both indirect, wholly—owned subsidiaries of Hughes Electronics Corporation,
which has a beneficial ownership interest in PanAmSat Corporation
("PanAmSat") of approximately 81%. EchoStar‘s complaint seeks damages and
injunctive relief for, among other things, alleged violations of federal and state
antitrust laws, including Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and Section 3 of the
Clayton Act on account of DirecTV‘s alleged anticompetitive activities and/or
monopolization of the "High—Power Direct Broadcast Satellite market." On or
about March 13, 2000, DirecTV and Hughes Electronics Corp. filed an answer
denying EchoStar‘s allegations of antitrust violations and brought four counter—
claims seeking damages on account of EchoStar‘s tortious business practices.
The parties have exchanged the disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and
have engaged in initial document and written discovery. PanAmSat has been
