                            Dear Ms. Dortch:

                            Intelsat LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority
                            ("STA")' for 30 days from June 22,2004 through July 22,2004 to allow in-orbit
                            testing of INTELSAT 10-02 at 1 .O" E.L. INTELSAT 10-02 is scheduled to be
                            launched on June 15,2004. In support of its request, Intelsat submits the following
                            information.

                            On August 8, 2000, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission")
                            granted Intelsat authority to launch and operate INTELSAT 10-02 at I .O" W.L.*
                            INTELSAT 10-02 will replace INTELSAT 707, which currently is operating at that
                            location.

                            Intelsat has coordinated the planned in-orbit testing of INTELSAT 10-02 with
                            France Telecom, the operator o f a nearby satellite at 3.0" E.L.; Sirius, the operator
                            o f a satellite at 5.0" E.L.; and Amos, the operator of a satellite at 4.0" W.L. In the
                            unlikely went that haniiful interference occurs, Intelsat will take all necessary steps
                            to eliminate the interference.

The in-orbit testing of INTELSAT 10-02 at 1.O" E.L. is a critical step in ensuring
that the satellite will be fully operational at 1.O" 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,



JenGfir D. Hindin
Attorney for Intelsat LLC
