December 17,2007 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12'~Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 INTELSAT, Re: Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority to Operate Galaxy 17 at 74.05" W.L. Call Sign: S2715 Dear Ms. Dortch: PanArnSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests a 30-day extension -- from December 25,2007 through January 23,2008 -- of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA")' originally granted PanAmSat to drift Galaxy 17 from 75.5' W.L. to 74.05' W.L. immediately following in-orbit testing and to operate the satellite at 74.05' W.L. to satisfy a customer's temporary requirement for service at that location2 Galaxy 17 is currently operating at 74.05" W.L. In support of its request, PanAmSat submits the following Information. PafzAmSat is authorized to permanently operate Galaxy 17 at 91.O" W.L.3 PanAmSat currently plans to have Galaxy 17 replace Galaxy 11, which is operating at that location. Mediately following the satellite's launch, PanAmSat temporarily operated Galaxy 17 for a short period of time at 81.0' W.L.4 PanAmSat subsequently conducted in-orbit testing of Galaxy 17 at 75.5' W.L.,5 after which it deployed the satellite to 74.05' W.L. to satisfy a customer's temporary requirement for service at that location. PanAmSat will continue to operate Galaxy 17 at 74.05' W.L. in conformance with relevant coordination agreements PamknSat has reached with other administrations regarding operations at the nominal 74.0' W.L. location. In PanAmSat has filed this STA request, an FCC Fonn 159 and a $790.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau's Filing System. See PanAmSat Licensee Corp. Requestfor Special Temporary Authority to Drift Galaxy I7 to and Operate at 74.05" W.L., File No. SAT-STA-20070326- 00056 (stamp grant issued by Andrea Kelly on June 22,2007). See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT-00439, File Nos. SAT-RPL-20061219-00155 and SAT-AJMD-20070123-00013 (Apr. 27, 2007) (Public Notice).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch December 17,2007 Page 2 addition, PanAmSat will continue to operate in accordance with the FCC's rules designed to allow co-frequency, co-coverage operations in a two-degree spaced environment. As a result of these efforts, PanAmSat's continued operation of Galaxy 17 at the 74.05" W.L. location poses no risk of harmful interference to adjacent operational satellites. Moreover, grant of this STA request will not negatively affect current services at Galaxy 17's ultimate location -- 91.0" W.L. -- as Galaxy 11's expected service life for full CONUS capabilities is June 2009. Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing PanAmSat to continue to satisfy a customer's temporary requirement for service at the 74.05" W.L. location until the Horizons 2 satellite -- scheduled for launch on December 20 -- replaces Galaxy 17. .The customer requires this capacity as a result of a delay in the launch of one of customer's satellites. For the reasons set forth herein, PanAmSat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this extension request. Sincerely, ' Susan €3.
