                  REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

        PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the
Commission‘s rules,‘ hereby requests a 180—day extension, through August 8, 2005, of
its special temporary authority ("STA") for Galaxy 9 to operate the tracking, telemetry,
and command (‘TT&C") payload on Galaxy 9 at 90.9° W.L. Absent an extension,
PanAmSat‘s STA will expire on February 9, 2005.
       On January 15, 2004, the Commission grant stamped, subject to conditions,
PanAmSat‘s request for an STA to relocate Galaxy9 from 127.1° W.L. o 90.9° WL.and
to operate the TT&C payload during the relocation and when the spacecraft arrived on
station at 90.9° W.L2 Galaxy9 arrived at 90.9° W.L. and now serves as an in—orbit spare
providing back up to PanAmSat‘s fleet in this portion of the orbital arc. On August 9,
2004, PanAmSat requested an additional 180—day STA to operate Galaxy 9 at 90.9° W.L.,
which the Commission granted, but, as noted above, that STA soon will expire. As
stated in PanAmSat‘s inital STA request, PanAmSat is positioning Galaxy 9 at 90.9°
W.L.,rather than 91.0° W.L, in order to maintain a safe separation from, and facilitate
coordinated stationkeeping with, PanAmSat‘s Galaxy 11 at 91.0° W.L.
       PanAmSat‘s extension request is supported by good cause, because extending the STA
will enable PanAmSat to contine to provide back up protection for its fleet. Granting the
authority requested, moreover, is in keeping with the Commission‘s policy to allow "satellite
operators to rearrange satellites in their fleet to reflect business and customer considerations
where no other public interest factors are adversely affected."*
      Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests that its STA be
extended through August 8, 2005. Questions with respect to this matter should be directed to
Joseph A. Godles, PanAmSat‘s counsel, at 202—129—1900.
