INTELSAT 702 will be co-located at 156.9” E.L. with INTELSAT 604, which is located at 157.0” E.L. INTELSAT 702 is currently located at the 1’76.0” E.L. orbital location, where it recently was replaced by INTELSAT 804. On September 23,2002, Intelsat filed an application to modify its authorization for INTELSAT 702 to allow its deployment at 85.15” E.L. (“Modification Application”).2 In order to satisfy customer demand at the nominal 157.0” E.L. orbital location, Intelsat has decided instead to co-locate INTELSAT 702 with INTELSAT 604 at that nominal location. Intelsat is tiling an amendment to the Modification Application concurrently with this STA request. Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by providing Intelsat with the flexibility needed to manage its system, meet the current customer demand for satellite services in the region and operate the INTELSAT 702 and INTELSAT 604 spacecraft in a safe manner. In addition, grant of this STA request will not result in increased risk of harmful interference. Any operation of INTELSAT 702 at 156.9” E.L. pursuant to STA will be in conformance with coordination agreements for that location. I Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $670.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System. 2 See Policy Branch Information, Satellite Space Applications Acceptedfor Filing, Report No. SAT-00124, File No. SAT-MOD-20020923-001 77 (Oct. 4, 2002) (Public Notice).

Dortch, Secretary November 27,2002 Page 2 For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously grant this request. Sincerely, ($yQ-b -&JL Jennifer D.
