REQUEST FOR SPECIALTEMPORARY AUTHORMTY TO CONDUCT IN—ORBIT TESTING PanAmSat Licensing Corp. (‘PanAmSat‘), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s Rules,\ hereby requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to conduct in—orbit testing ("IOT) of Galaxy 15 at 150° W.L. 2 PanAmSat seeks an STA for a period of thirty (30) days, beginning on the date that the spacecraft arrives at that orbital location.3 The Commission has authorized PanAmSat to launch Galaxy 15 and to operate the satellte at 133° WL.* PanAmSat is unable to conduct IOT for Galaxy 15 at its assigned orbital location, however, because doing so would interfere with ongoing services. Accordingly, PanAmSat seeks authority to operate Galaxy 15 initially at 150° 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 15 without disrupting ongoing services. Providing for continuityof 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 satelltes located within six degrees to the east and west of 150° W.L. that have frequency overlap with Galaxy 15 are an EchoStar satellite at 148 W.L. and TDRS7 at 151.0 W.L. In the case of the former, PanAmSat already has signed a coordination agreement with EchoStar. In the case of the latter, the frequency overlap is with a non—governmental C— band payload on TDRS 7 that is not in use, and NTIA has informed PanAmSat that (because the C:—band payload is non—governmental) coordination with the federal government is unnecessary. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests an STA for a period of thirty (30) days to conduct IOT of Galaxy 15 at 150° W.L. Questions with respect to this matter should be directed to Joseph A. Godles, PanAmSat‘s counsel, at (202) 429—4900. ur on® s2sim * Thisrequest is imited tothe C:band and Ku—band payloads on Galaxy13 that are Rcensed to PanAmSat.
