               REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORTTY

       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 15, 2005, to station Galaxy 14 at 124.95° W.L.
and to operate the tracking, telemetry, and command ("TT&C‘) payload on the
satellite while it is at that orbital location. PanAmSat only seeks authority herein
to operate the TT&C frequencies on Galaxy 14; the company‘s communications
payload on Galaxy 14 will not be in operation at 124.95° W.L.
      Galaxy 14 was launched on August 13, 2005 as a replacementsatellite for
Galaxy 5.2 Galaxy 12 has been serving as an interim replacement for Galaxy 5
pending the successful launch of Galaxy 14 and the completion of in—orbit testing
("IOT") for Galaxy 14. The Commission initially granted PanAmSat an STA for
30 days to conduct IOT for Galaxy 14 at 146° W.LPanAmSat subsequently filed
two STA requests, which remain pending, secking authority for Galaxy 14 to
remain at 146° W.L. for an additional period in order to complete IOT and to be
available as part of a contingency plan to maintain service at 133° W.L. pending
the successful launch of Galaxy 15.¢
       10T has since been completed, Galaxy 15 has been successfully launched,
and Galaxy 14 is drifting toward its assigned orbital location.® At present,
however, Galaxy 12 is stationed at 125.05° W.L. t is necessary, therefore, to
station Galaxy 14 at an orbital location that is offset from Galaxy 12‘s present
location until PanAmSatis ready to transfer trafic from Galaxy 12 to Galaxy 14.
PanAmSat expects to implement this ransfer in early January 2006. In light of
these circumstances, PanAmSat is fling this request to locate Galaxy 14
temporarily at 124.95° W.L.
       PanAmSat‘s STA request is supported by good cause. Relocating Galaxy
14 to 124.95° W.L. will enable PanAmSat to have the satelltein position for a
transfer of trafficatthe appropriate time. This positioning will facilitate
continuity of service, which is unquestionably in the publicinterest.

       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests
an STA for 30 days, commencing on December 15, 2005, t station Galaxy 14 at
124.95° W.L. and to operate the TT&C payload on the satellte while it is at that
orbital location.
