               REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

        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 January 1, 2006, to relocate Galaxy 12 from 125.05° WL.
to 125.10° W.L.
       Galaxy 12 originally was assigned to 74° WL.2 Pursuant to STAs, Galaxy
12 has been serving as an interim replacement for Galaxy 5, and presently
operates at 125.05° W.L.3 Galaxy 14 was launched on August 13, 2005, and soon
will take the place of Galaxy 12 as the replacement for Galaxy 5. To facilitate the
transfer of traffic from Galaxy 12 to Galaxy 14, PanAmSat needs to relocate
Galaxy 12 t0 125.10° WL. PanAmSat anticipates initiating this relocation on or
about January 1 and transferring traffic from Galaxy 12 to Galaxy 14 in early
January. Following the transfer of traffic, Galaxy 12 will become an in—orbit
spare at 125.10° W.L.
        PanAmSat had intended to station Galaxy 12 at 125.25° WL. forin—orbit
spare purposes, and had modified the license for Galaxy 12 to specify that orbital
location:+ As a result of changed circumstances, however, PanAmSat recently
filed an application requesting a modification that would change the assigned
orbitallocation to 125.10° W.L.5 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 (zc, SBS—4, Galaxy
12 and Galaxy 14). Following an evaluation of its options, PanAmSat determined
that it could optimize stationkeeping by locating Galaxy 12 at 125.10° W.L. and
Galaxy 14 at 125° W.L. Accordingly, PanAmSat proposes herein to operate
Galaxy12 from 125.10° W.L. on an STA basis pending action on the company‘s
modification application.*
       PanAmSat‘s STA requestis supported by good cause. Grant of the STA
will enable PanAmSatto transfer traffic from Galaxy 12 to Galaxy 14 and to
maintain back—up capacity pending grant of the modification application for
Galaxy 12. Facilitating continuity of service and back—up capacity is
unquestionably in the publi interest.

125.05° W.L. to 125.0° W.L.
