SECTION 3507. 4

REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission's rules,l hereby requests a 60-day extension, through February 17,2004, of its special temporary authority ("STA") to operate Galaxy IX at 127.10" W.L. On November 19,2003, the Commission grant stamped, subject to conditions, PanAmSat's request for an STA to relocate Galaxy IX from 127" W.L. to 127.10" W.L.2 PanAmSat had made its STA request in preparation for the arrival of a replacement satellite, Galaxy XIII, at 127" W.L. The STA enabled PanAmSat to maintain a safe separation between Galaxy IX and Galaxy XI11 while traffic was migrated from the former to the latter. Absent an extension, the current STA would expire on December 19,2003. In the near future, PanAmSat will be filing a request for an STA to relocate Galaxy IX to a different orbital location. The relocation will commence no earlier than January 18,2004, which is more than 30 days beyond the expiration of the current STA. Given this timing, and in an effort to avoid having to seek multiple extensions, PanAmSat is requesting an extension of its STA for 60 days rather than 30 days. PanAmSat's extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable PanAmSat, prior to the relocation, to operate Galaxy IX as an in-orbit spare and to keep in place the safe separation between that satellite and Galaxy XIII. Facilitating redundant capacity and maintaining safe separation distances are clearly in the public interest. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests that its STA be extended through February 17,2004. Questions with respect to this matter should be directed to Joseph A. Godles or Michael A. McCoin, PanAmSat's counsel, at 202-429-4900. 47 C.F.R. § 25.120. 2 See File No. SAT-STA-20030924-00303.
