Attachment File No. SAT-STA-20070813-00114 December 21,2007 PanAmSat Licensee Corp.'s (PanAmSat's) request, File No. SAT-STA-200708 13-00114, IS GRANTED. Accordingly, PanAmSat is authorized to operate the Intelsat 6B satellite's (Call Sign: S2359) Tracking, Telemetry, and Command (TT&C) functions for a period of 180 days commencing on January 1,2008 using the following TT&C frequencies: center frequencies 13999.5 MHz (horizontal polarization) and 13751.5 MHz (left hand circular polarization), for command operations; and center frequencies 11200.5 MHz (horizontal polarization) and 11201.O MHz (horizontal polarization), for telemetry operations, during Intelsat 6B's relocation from 43.1 " W.L. to 43.2" W.L., and while at the 43.2" W.L. orbital location and to operate Intelsat 6B satellite in the Ku-band frequencies of 10.70-1 1.45 GHz (space to Earth), 12.75-13.25 GHz (Earth to space), and 13.75-14.00 GHz (Earth to space) at the 43.2" W.L. orbital location in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in PanAmSat's applications, this Attachment, and the Commission's rules. 1. All operations shall be on an unprotected and non-harmful interference basis, i.e., PanAmSat shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system. 2. In the event of any harmful interference as a result of PanAmSat's operations at the 43.2" W.L. orbital location, PanAmSat shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and shall inform the FCC, in writing, immediately of such an event. 3. While at the 43.2" W.L. orbital location, PanAmSat shall maintain the Intelsat 6B spacecraft with an east/west longitudinal station-keeping tolerance of 0.05 degrees. 4. PanAmSat shall operate the Intelsat 6B satellite in compliance with all coordination agreements. 5. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuan special temporary authority is solely at PanAmSat's own risk. 6.
