Request for Special Temporary Authorlty Intelsat 604 Intelsat North America LLC (“Intelsat”) pursuant to 25.120 of the FCC‘s rules,‘ requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for 30 days, from January 30, 2006 to March 1, 2006, to stop the drift of INTELSAT 604 and operate in inclined orbit at 177.85° E.L. Intelsat currently holds authority to relocate and operate the INTELSAT 604 satellite in inclined orbit at the 178° E.L. orbital location." Pursuant to that authority, the INTELSAT 604 satellite is currently dnfimg, and is quite close, to the 178° E.L. orbital location. Stopping the drift of ]NTELSAT 604 at 177.85° E.L. and subsequent operation in that location will serve the public interest by accommodating a co—location/coordination agreement with Inmarsat and allowing Intelsat flexibility to achieve a safe and efficient station keeping of the INTELSAT 604 satellite with an Inmarsat satellite located at the 178.1° E.L. orbital location. Operation of INTELSAT 604 at 177.85° EL, ‘rather than 178.0° E.L., poses no fisk of harmful interference to other satellites operating at nearby orbital locations in the same freque:ncies.4 For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respeptfillly requests that the Commission promptly grant this request. | L3 47 CFR. §25.120. 2 Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $735.00 filing fee _ electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. 3 Fleet Management Notice of Intelsat North America LLC of Modification of Authorization for INTELSAT 604, File No. SAT—MOD—20050817—00161 (filed Aug. 17, 2005 (requesting authority to move the INTELSAT 604 satellite from the 157° E.L. slot to the 178° E.L. slot with an expected arrival date at the new slot of either January or February 2006); Policy > Branch Information, Satellite Space Station Applications Acceptedfor Filing (Public Notice), File No. SAT—MOD—20050817—00161, Rept.
