# nmpsmmassonct" ; <Tele‘sat 500 Hills Drive, Suite 300 February 4, 2009 Bedminster, NJ 07921 George F. Wazeter Director, Regulatory Affairs FILED ELECTRONICALLY Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Ms. Dortch: Subject: Request for Special Temporary Authority to conduct In—Orbit Testing of the Telstar 1 1N Satellite (Call Sign $2357) at the 37.55° WL orbital position Skynet Satellite Corporation (SSC) hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (STA), beginning March 5, 2009‘, for a period of thirty (30) days to conduct In—Orbit Testing (IOT) of the Telstar 1 1N satellite at 37.55° W.L. The in—orbit tests will be conducted on a non— interfering basis. The Commission has authorized SSC to operate Telstar 1 1N at 37.55° W.L.* After launch of the satellite, IOT will be conducted using un—modulated CW test carriers at downlink EIRP levels up to saturation, for short periods of time, for some tests. The saturation EIRP levels are covered by SSC‘s authorization. SSC‘s authorization for Telstar 1 1N does not include unmodulated CW signals. Accordingly, SSC requests an STA to operate unmodulated CW test carriers during IOT. SSC has already initiated coordination discussions with the operators of the affected neighboring satellites: Intelsat, SES New Skies (New Skies), and Hispasat." Coordination with Hispasat is complete. New Skies has indicated that it does not anticipate difficulties in accommodating satellite testing. Intelsat is in the process of evaluating SSC‘s coordination proposal and SSC anticipates that coordination will be completed prior to commencement of ‘ The current planned launch date for the satellite is February 26, 2009. 2 See File No. SAT—MOD—20060821—00091. * The neighboring satellites include: Intelsat 903 at 34.5° WL, Intelsat—3R at 43° WL; NSS 806 at 40.5° WL, and HISPASAT 1C & 1D at 30° WL. Tel: 908—470—2350 + Fax: 908—470—2453 + e—mail gwazeter@telesat.com

IOT. SSC has no objection to an STA that is conditioned on successful completion of coordination. ' The earth station that will be used to transmit and receive IOT carriers is located at a teleport in Allan Park, Canada, that is operated by SSC‘s parent company, Telesat (133438 Allan Park Road, West Grey Township, Allan Park, ON N4N 3B, Canada, Telephone no. 519—364—1013). For that reason, SSC is not requesting an IOT—related STA for any U.S. earth station. Should the Commission require additional information in this regard, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Ltlt ce: Jose Albuquerque/ Intelsat Anthony Baker/ NSS Maria Cristina Garcia de Miguel/ Hispasat
