ATTACHMENT Conditions of Authorization: SAT—STA—20091006—00105 Call Sign: $2640 Grant Date: October 22, 2009 The request of DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (DIRECTV) for special temporary authority (STA), IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20091006—00105, is granted. Accordingly, DIRECTV is authorized for a period of 30 days, commencing on October 22, 2009, to operate the DIRECTV 11 satellite (Call Sign: $2640) from the 99.225° W.L. orbital location to conduct in—orbit testing (IOT) using a continuous wave signal (NON emission) on 17.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 25.15 GHz (Earth—to— space) frequency bands with a maximum EIRP of 46.5 dBW. This authorization is granted in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in DIRECTY‘s application, this Attachment, and the Commission‘s rules: 1. All operations shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., DIRECTV 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 DIRECTV 11‘s operations at the 99.225° W.L. orbital location, DIRECTV shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and shall inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event. 3. DIRECTV shall coordinate its IOT operations with all potentially affected lawfully operating radiocommunication systems to ensure that no unacceptable interference results from its IOT operations. 4. DIRECTV‘s operations of the DIRECTV 11 satellite at the 99.225° W.L. orbital location shall be limited solely to IOT operations and shall not include the provision of commercial services. 5. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at DIRECTY‘s own risk. 6. DIRECTV is afforded thirty days from the date of release of this authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned.

SECTION 3507.

REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") hereby requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate the 17/24 GHz BSS payload on the DIRECTV 11 satellite at the 99.225° W.L. orbital location for a period of up to 30 days beginning on or about October 19, 2009 in connection with testingof a DIRECTV satellite earth station located in Moxee, WA. DIRECTV 11 was launched on March 19, 2008. While the primary payload on that satellite operates using Ka—band frequencies, there is also a 17/24 GHz BSS payload that was operated for a brief period following launch under an experimental authorization.‘ The launch of another, more capable 17/24 GHz BSS payload (referred to as DIRECTV RB2—A) is scheduled for later this year. In anticipation of that launch, DIRECTV has been constructing a feeder link earth station that will operate in this band." That earth station will be ready for antenna testing later this month, and the payload on DIRECTV 11 is the only one DIRECTV is aware of that actually operates in this band. There are no other 17/24 GHz BSS satellites yet in operation, and the nearest DBS satellite is located more than 1.5° away — and is also operated by DIRECTV. Accordingly, DIRECTV anticipates no difficulty in coordinating its proposed operations. Furthermore, DIRECTV is prepared to terminate all testing operations immediately upon notification from the Commission that its operations cause harmful interference to any authorized user of the spectrum. Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing DIRECTV to test its earth station — the first to seek licensing in the 17/24 GHz band — to ensure that it is fully operational and ready to begin providing service to DIRECTV subscribers in advance of the launch of DIRECTV RB2—A. ‘ See OET File No. 0544—EX—ST—2007 (call sign WD9XCI). DIRECTV‘s operations under the requested STA would conform to the parameters set forth in its application for experimental authorization. * See IBFS File No. SES—LIC—20091001—01263. DIRECTV will also seek an STA to test this earth station with the 17/24 GHz BSS payload that is the subject of this application.
