               REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                          TO CONDUCT IN—ORBIT TESTING

       PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (‘PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25120 of the
Commission‘s Rules,\ hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (‘STA") to
conduct i—orbit testing ("IOT") of Galaxy 14 at 146° W.L. PanAmSat seeks an
STA for a period of thirty (30) days, beginning on the date that the spacecraft
arrives at that orbital location 2
       The Commission has authorized PanAmSat to launch Galaxy 14 and to
operate the satellite at 125.05° W.L.3 PanAmSatis unable to conduct IOT for
Galaxy 14 atits assigned orbital location, however, because doing so would
interfere with ongoing services. Accordingly, PanAmSat seeks authority to
locate Galaxy 14 initially at 146° W.L. for purposes of IOT.
      PanAmSat‘s STA request is supported by good cause. Grant of the
request will enable PanAmSat to complete IOT for Galaxy 14 without disrupting
ongoing services. Providing for continuity of service is unquestionably in the
public interest
       Moreover, grant of the requested STA will present no risk of interference
to other authorized users. The only known satellite located or planned to be
located near 146° W.L is Inmarsat—2 F3 at 142° W.L., which is operated by
Inmarsat, and PanAmSat will coordinate with Inmarsat prior to commencing
107.
      Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests
an STA for a period of thirty (30) days to conduct IOT of Galaxy 14 at 146° W.L
Questions with respect to this matter should be directed to foseph A. Godles,
PanAmSat‘s counsel, at (202) 42944900
