REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (‘PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s Ruleshereby requests special temporary authority (‘STA") for 30 days, commencing on January 1, 2006, to: (1) relocate Galaxy 14 from 124.95° W.L. to 125° W.L.; (2) operate the tracking, telemetry, and command ("TT&C) paload on the satellite during the relocation; and (3) operate the TT&C and communications payloads on the satellite when it arrives at 125° W.L. Galaxy 14 was launched on August 13, 2005 as a replacement satellite 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 ("1OT") for Galaxy 14. The Commission initially granted PanAmSat an STA for 30 days to conduct IOT for Galaxy 14 at 146° W.L." PanAmSat 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.¢ IOT has since been completed, Galaxy 15 has been successfully launched, and the Commission has granted an STA authorizing PanAmSatto station Galaxy 14 at 124.95° W.L. for up to 30 days in anticipation of relocating the satellte to 125° W.L. when the time arrives to transfer traffic from Galaxy 12 to Galaxy 14.3 PanAmSat anticipates initiating this relocation on or about January 1,and to transfer traffic from Galaxy 12 to Galaxy 14 in early January. At present, Galaxy 14 is assigned to 125.05° W.L. As a result of changed circumstances, however, PanAmSat recently filed an application requesting a modification that would change the assigned orbitallocation to 125° W.L.* As explained in the modification application, the recent decommissioning of SBS—4 gave PanAmSat additional stationkeeping flexibility, because it will only be operating two satellites in the vicinity of 125° W.L.(ie, Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 14) rather than three satellites (te, 5B§—4, Galaxy 12 and Galaxy 14). Following an evaluation of ts options, PanAmSat determined thatit could optimize stationkeeping by locating Galaxy 12 at 125.10° W.L.and Galaxy 14 at 125° W.L. rror® sasim 2 e File No.SAT—LOA—1991207—00117, as amended S hile No. SAT.STA—20080207—00006 * SeFile Nos.SAT—STA—20050623—00166 and SAT—STA—20051005—0019 3 Se File No. SAT—STA—anostans—00260 S File No.SAT—MOD—20051206—00261.

Accordingly, PanAmSat proposes herein to operate Galaxy 14 from 125° WL. on an STA basis pending action on the company‘s modification application." PanAmSat‘s STA request is supported bygood cause. Grant of the STA will enable PanAmSat to transfer traffic from Galaxy12 to Galaxy 14 and to maintain service pending grant of the modification application for Galaxy 14. Facilitating continuity of service is unquestionably in the public interest. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests an STA for 30 days, commencing on January 1, 2006, to: (1) relocate Galaxy 14 from 124.95° W.L. to 125° W.L.; (2) operate the TT&C payload on the satellite during the relocation; and (3) operate the TT&C and communications payloads on the satellite when it arrives at 125° W.L. Questions with respect to this matter should be directed to foseph A. Godles, PanAmSat‘s counsel, at (202) 429—1900. PanAmSat hasfiled a separate modification application, and i i a separate TA request secking uthority to operate Galaay12 rom 125.10° W
