October 5,2007 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission Street, S.W. 445 1.2'~ ' Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Conduct In-Orbit Testing of Extended Ku-band Frequencies on IS 11 Call Sign: S2237 Dear Ms. Dortch: PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")'for 30 days, from October 9,2007 through November 7,2007, to conduct in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11 at 47.5' W.L. in the bands 12750-13250 MHz, 13750-14000 MHz, and 10700-11450 MHz before moving the satellite to its permanent location of 43.1" W.L. Intelsat 11 is currently scheduled to be launched on October 5,2007. In support of its request, ParAnSat submits the following information. During in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11,PanAmSat will operate in the above listed extended Ku-band frequencies, as well as in the conventional C-band.2 PanAmSat has coordinated the planned in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11 with all operators of satellites operating co-frequency up to six degrees away from 47.5" W.L. Specifically,PaflAmSat has coordinated with Inmarsat, the operator of Inmarsat 4 F2 located at 53.0" W.L., and with the U.S. Air Force, the operator of the TDRS 1 and TDRS 4 satellites located at 49.0" W.L. and 46.0" W.L., respectively. The only other satellites operating co-frequency up to six degrees away from 47.5' W.L. are operated by PanAmSat or its affiliated company, Intelsat North America LLC. In the unlikely event that harmful interference occurs, PanAmSat will take all necessary steps to eliminate the interference. The in-orbit testing of the satellite at 47.5" W.L. is a critical step in ensuring that the satellite will be fully operational at 43.1" W.L. This, in turn, will ensure continuity of existing services at the nominal 43.0" W.L. location, and thereby promote the public interest. PanAmSat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $790.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau's Filing System. PanAmSat already has received authority to conduct in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11 in the conventional C-band at this location. See SAT-STA-20070802-00109 (stamp grant by Cassandra Thomas issued Oct. 5,2007).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch October 5 , 2007 Page 2 For the reasons set forth herein, PanAmSat respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously grant this request. W Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation Cc: Robert Nelson Karl Kensinger Andrea Kelly Jabin Vahora
