Additionally, once Galaxy 17 is located at the 122.9' W.L. orbital location, PanAmSat is authorized to operate Galaxy 17 in the 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space) and 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth) conventional C-band frequencies, and in the 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) conventional Ku-band frequencies. This authorization shall be in accordance with the technical specifications set forth in its application, this Attachment, and the Commission's rules and subject to the following condition: 1. All operations during the drift 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 station. In the event of any harmful interference during Galaxy 17's drift to the 122.9' W.L. orbital location, PanAmSat shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and shall inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event.

March 25,2008 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12'~Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 INTELSAT. Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Drift Galaxy 17 to, and Operate the Satellite at, 122.9' W.L. Call Sign: S2715 Dear Ms. Dortch: PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSattt)herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")' for 30 days, commencing immediately, to drift Galaxy 17 to 122.9' W.L. and to temporarily operate the satellite at that location. In support of its request, PsuLAmSat submits the following information. PafLAmSat is authorized to operate Galaxy 17 at 91" W.L.* PaJnAmSat currently plans to have Galaxy 17 replace Galaxy 11, which is operating at that location. Galaxy 17 is currently drifting toward 90.90" W.L. pursuant to STA.3 As explained in that STA request, Galaxy 17 possibly would be required to move to the nominal 123.0" W.L. location ih the event of a delay in, or failure of, the I launch of Galaxy 18. Galaxy 18, which is licensed to operate at 123" W.L.; currently is expected to be launched on May 13,2008 by Sea Launch. The satellite currently operating at 123.0' W.L. - Galaxy 1OR - is low on fbel. The delay in the launch of Galaxy 18 beyond its most recently scheduled launch date of May 3,2008 has required that PanAmSat drift Galaxy 17 to 122.9' W.L. rather than 90.90' W.L. and temporarily operate the satellite at 122.9' W.L. in order to ensure continuity of station-kept service for customers currently on Galaxy 1OR. P-Sat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $790.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau's Filing System. See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT-00439, File Nos. SAT-RPL-20061219-00155 and SAT-AMD-20070123-00013 (Apr. 27, 2007) (Public Notice). See PanAmSat Licensee Corp. Requestfor Special Temporary Authority, File No. SAT-STA-20080307-00060 (stamp grant issued by Andrea Kelly on Mar. 14,2008).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch March 25,2008 Page 2 During the dnf€to 122.9' W.L only the following TT&C fiequencies will be operated on Galaxy 17: command fkequencies 5925.5 MHz (LHCP), 6424.5 MHz (RHCP), 5925.5 M H Z (€3) and 6424.5 MHz (V); telemetry frequencies 4197.125 M H z (H), 4197.125 MHz (LHCP), 4198.875 MHz (H) and 4198.875 (RHCP). Once located at 122.9' W.L., the satellite will operate in the conventional C- and Ku- bands. All operations of Galaxy 17 at 122.9" W.L. will be in conformance with relevant coordination agreements PaylAmSat has reached with other administrationsregarding operations at the location. In addition, Padunsat will 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 operation of Galaxy 17 at the 122.9' W.L. location I poses no risk of harmfill interference to adjacent operational satellites. I I Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing PanAmSat to transfer traffic fkom Galaxy 1OR to Galaxy 17 at 122.9" W.L. until Galaxy 18 ' is launched and the traffic can be transferred to Galaxy 18. This, in turn, will allow PanAmSat to ensure continuity of service at thexominal 123.0' W.L. location to customers of Galaxy 1OR. For the reasons set forth herein, PsltlAmSat respectfblly requests that the Commission expeditiously grant this request. Sincerely, Susan H. Crmdall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation cc: Robert Nelson Andrea Kelly Karl Kensinger
