                  REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

        PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (‘PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the
Commission‘s rules," hereby requests special temporary authority ("STA") for 30 days,
commencing on December 24, 2004, to relocate Galaxy 12 from 125.25° W.L. to 125.05°
W.L and to operate the satellie at that orbital location.
       Galaxy 12 is one of three satellites that PanAmSat operates in the vicinity of 125°
W.L. To facilitate stationkeeping, the Commission has authorized PanAmSat to
maintain a slight separation among the satelltes. Galaxy 5, which is PanAmSat‘s
operational C—band satellite, is located at 125.05° W.L. Galaxy 12, which is serving as an
in orbit spare, is located at 125.25° W.L. SBS—4, which is PanAmSat‘s operational Ku—
band satellite, is located at 124.95° W.L
       Galaxy 5 is approaching the end of its usefullfe, and the Commission has
authorized PanAmSat to launch and operate Galaxy 14 as a replacement2 Galaxy 14,
however, will not be launched until after Galaxy 5 needs to be decommissioned. To
ensure continuity of service, PanAmSat seeks authority herein to relocate Galaxy 12 to
125.05° W.L., where it can (following the hand—off of traffic from Galaxy 5) serve as a
replacement on a temporary basis.3 In a separate filing, PanAmSat is requesting an
STA to relocate Galaxy 5 to 125.15° W.L, where it will be in close proximity to Galaxy:
12 for purposes of handing off traffic, and to continue operating the TT&C payload on
Galaxy 5 during end of life maneuvers.
        PanAmSat‘s requestis supported by good cause. An STA will enable PanAmSat
to maintain continuity of service, via Galaxy 12, once Galaxy 5 has been
decommissioned

       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests an STA
for 30 days, commencing on December 24, 2004, to relocate Galaxy 12 from 125.25° W.L
to 125.05° W.L. and to operate the satellit at that orbital location.
       Please direct any questions concerning this matter to Joseph A. Godles, counsel
for PanAmSat, at (202) 429—4900.

3 At present PanAmSat operates only the tracking, tlemetry, and command (TT&C") payload on
Galaxy 12. Following the proposed reloction othe satelite to 125.05° W 1., PanAmSat will operate both
the TTEC payload and the (C:band) communications payload on thsatelite
