INTELSAT 907 is scheduled to be launched on February 12, 2003. In support of its request, Intelsat submits the following information. On August 8, 2000, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commussion") granted Intelsat authority to launch and operate INTELSAT 907 at 31.5°.W.L.* On September 18, 2002, Intelsat filed an application to modify the license for INTELSAT 907 to permit deployment of the satellite at 27.5° W.L. That application is pending. | Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $670.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. * See Applications ofIntelsat LLC For Authority to Operate, and to Further 2 Construct, Launch and Operate C—Band and Ku—Band Global Satellites That Form a Global Communications System in Geostationary Orbit, 15 FCC Red 15460 (2000) (Memorandum Opinion Order and Authorization) ("Intelsat LLC Order"), recon. denied, 15 FCC Red 25234 (2000) (Order on Reconsideration). This authority became effective upon the July 18, 2001 transfer of satellite assets from INTELSAT, the intergovernmental organization, to Intelsat and the transfer of INTELSAT‘s associated ITU network filings to U.S. registry.

Wiley Rein & Fielding ur Ms. Marlene H. Dortch November 21, 2002 Page 2 The 25.75° W.L. orbital location is the same one used to conduct in—orbit testing of INTELSAT 905. As with INTELSAT 905, Intelsat has coordinated the planned in— orbit testing of INTELSAT 907 with Hispasat, the operator of a nearby satellite at 30° W.L., as well as with Russia, which holds ITU filings for —— but has no operational satellites at —— nearby locations, including 25° W.L. and 26.5° W.L. In the unlikely event that harmful interference occurs, Intelsat will take all necessary steps to eliminate the interference. The in—orbit testing of INTELSAT 907 at 25.75° W.L. is a critical step in ensuring that the satellite will be fully operational at 27.5° W.L. This, in turn, will ensure continuity of existing services at that location, and thereby promote the public interest. For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this request. Sincerely, C3 Jennifer D. Hindin ce: Tom Tycz Jennifer Gilsenan Jabin Vahora Sylvia Lam 4 See Intelsat LLC Requestfor Special Temporary Authority to In—Orbit Test INTELSAT 905 at 25.75° W.L.., File No. SAT—STA—20020416—00057 (Apr. 16, 2002) (stamp grant by Jennifer Gilsenan, Branch Chief, Satellite Policy Branch, FCC, issued June 4, 2002).
