PanAmSat is also suthorized to continue operating the tracking, elemetry and command (TT&C) payload on the Galaxy 1R satelite, whileat the same time performing end oflife maneuvers to boost the sateliteto a disposal orbit above the gcostationary are, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in its application, this Attachment, and the Federal Communications Commission‘s (*Commission‘) Rules. PanAmSat shall coordinate all of ts operations so that no harmfulinterference shall be caused to any other lawfully operating satellites or radiocommunication system. PanAmSat shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and inform the Commission in writing immediately of such an event. PanAmSat is required to accept interference from other lawflly operating space stations or radio communications systems. Any actiontaken or experse incurred asa resut of aperations pursuant to this special temporary suthoriy is solely at PanAmSat‘s own risk.

REQUEST FOR SPECIALTEMPORARY 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 February 14, 2005, to: (1)relocate Galaxy 1R from 133° W.L to 1329° W.L.for the purpose of handing off communications traffic to a replacement satellit; and (2) once communications traffic has been handed off, to continue operating the satellite‘s racking, telemetry and command (‘TT&C‘) payload during end of life maneuvers. Galaxy 1R is approaching the end of its usefullife, and the Commission has authorized PanAmSat to launch and operate Galaxy 15 as a replacement for Galaxy 1R.2 Galaxy 15 has been successfully launched, has completed in—orbit testing, and (pursuant to an STA®) is temporarily stationed at 133.25° W In mid—February, PanAmSat will begin relocating Galaxy 15 to its regularly assigned orbital location of 133° W.L., where Galaxy 1R presently operates, for the purpose of receiving a hand—off of traffic from Galaxy 1R and commencing regular commercial operations on Galaxy 13. In order to maintain orbital separation between Galaxy 18 and Galaxy 15,it will be necessary, at the same time PanAmSat begins relocating Galaxy 15 to 133° W.L.,to begin relocating Galaxy 1R to 132.9" W.L. Once these relocations have been completed and traffic has been transferred from Galaxy 1R to Galaxy 15, Galaxy 1R will be deorbited. During deorbit maneuvers, only the TT&C payload on Galaxy 1R will be operated. PanAmSat‘s request for an STA is supported by good cause. Relocating Galaxy 1R away from 133° W.Lwill free up that orbital location forits replacement (Galaxy 15). Relocating Galaxy1R to 132.9° W.L. will keep the satellite in close proximity to the replacement satellte, thereby faciltating the transfer of traffic from Galaxy 1R to Galaxy 15. Continuing TT&C communications during end oflife maneuvers will ensure that Galaxy 1R is decommissioned in an appropriate manner.* t is unquestionably in the public interest for a satellite operator to be able to transfer traffic from a satellit to ts urore se Se File No.SAT—LOA—9991207:0119, as amendec.

Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests an STA for 30 days, commencing on February 14, 2006, to relocate Galaxy 1R to 132.9° W.L. and, following the hand—off of taffic to Galaxy 15, to operate the TT&C payload on Galaxy 1R during end oflife maneuvers. Questions with respect to this matter should be directed to Joseph A. Godies, PanAmSat‘s counsel, t (202) 429—1900.
