Intelsat 601 is currently located at 64.25' E.L. The satellite is collocated with Intelsat 906, which operates at 64.15" E.L. Recently, a U.S. Government customer on Intelsat 906 has been experiencing interference fiom services on Intelsat 601. In order to eliminate this intrasystem interference, Intelsat plans, upon receipt of Commission approval, to move Intelsat 601 to 63.65' E.L. The specific bands that will be utilized at 63.65' E.L. are as follows: C-band: 3625-4200 MHz (downlink) and 5850-6425 MHZ (Uplink) Ku-band: 10.95-11.2 and 11.45-11.7 GHz (downlink) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (uplink) Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing Intelsat to eliminate the intrasystem interference currently being experienced by a U.S. Government customer. Intelsat therefore respectfully requests expeditious grant of this STA request. Intelsat intends shortly to file an application for permanent modification of Intelsat 601's license to allow its permanent operation at 63.65' E.L. ' Grant of this STA request will not result in increased risk of harmful interference. Intelsat has a collocation agreement with Inmarsat for 'the nominal 64.0' E.L. location. Intelsat recently entered into an amendment to that agreement to allow for Intelsat 601's operation at 63.65' E.L. Intelsat will ~~ ~ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $735.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau's Filing System. As it currently does at 64.25' E.L., Intelsat 601 will operate in inclined orbit mode at 63.65' E.L.
