Attachment to Grant IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20100111—00005 Call Sign 2368 The application of PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (PanAmSat), IBFS File NO. SAT—STA— 20100111—00005, for special temporary authority to drift the Intelsat 1R space station (Call Sign $2368) from the 45.0° W.L. orbital location to the 50.0° W.L. orbital location and to temporarily operate Intelsat 1R at the 50.0° W.L. orbital location is GRANTED. Accordingly, PanAmSat is authorized for a period of 60 days, commencing on January 17, 2010 to conduct Telemetry, Tracking and Command operations using the following frequencies: Earth—to—space: 13.995 GHz (horizontal and vertical polarization) and 14.4985 GHz (left—hand circular polarization) Space—to—Earth: 11.696 GHz (horizontal, vertical, and left—hand circular polarization) and 11.697 GHz (horizontal, vertical, and left—hand circular polarization) These operations are authorized in accordance with the technical specifications set forth in PanAmSat‘s application, the Commission‘s rules, and the following conditions: 1. All operations during the drift shall be on 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. 2. In the event of any harmful interference during Intelsat 1R‘s drift to the 50.0° 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. 3. During the drift to the 50.0° W.L. orbital location, PanAmSat may not operate Intelsat 1R‘s communications payload. 4. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at PanAmSat‘s own risk. 5. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding PanAmSat‘s pending applications for permanent operation of the Intelsat 1R space station at the 50.0° W.L. orbital location. See SAT—MOD—20090720—00073; SAT—AMD—20090820—00091; SAT—AMD—20091113—00122. 6. PanAmSat is afforded thirty days from the date of release of this grant and authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned.

7. This action is issued pursuant to the Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within 30 days of the date of the public notice indicating that this action was taken.

January 11, 2010 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Commumca‘uons Commission 445 12¢" Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 INTELSAT. Re: Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority for Intelsat 1R Call Sign: $2368 Dear Ms. Dortch: PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests a 60—day extensmn — through March 16, 2010 — of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted PanAmSat to drift Intelsat 1R from 45 0° W.L. to 50.0° W.L. and operate temporarily at the 50.0° W.L. location." PanAmSat has a pending application to modlfy Intelsat 1R‘s license to allow it to relocate the satellite to, and operate it in the C— and Ku—bands at, 50.0° W.L.*, where it will temporarily be co—located with Intelsat 705." Intelsat 1R has completedvdrifting and is located at 50.0° W.L., where traffic is being transitioned to the satellite from Intelsat 705. Initially, in order to ease the transition of customers from Intelsat 705 to Intelsat 1R, Intelsat 1R is . operating at 50.0° W.L. in inclined orbit mode, but will return to station—kept mode once Intelsat 705 is relocated. ' - Grant of this STA extension request is in the public interest because it will facilitate PanAmSat‘s provision of continuity of service to customers at 50.0° W.L. Grant of the STA also will serve the public interest by affording the Commission additional time to complete its review of PanAmSat‘s pending modification application to relocate Intelsat 1R to, and operate at, 50.0° W.L. Because the pending modification application only recently came off of Public Notice, it may not be granted by January 15, 2010, when the current STA expires. PanAmSat understands and accepts that a grant of STA extension ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and an $830.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. * See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00656, File No. SAT—STA—20091202—00137 (Dec. 18, 2009) (Public Notice). * See Policy Branch Information;Satellite SpaceApplications Accepted for Filing, Report No. SAT—00647, File Nos.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch January 11, 2010 — Page 2 would not prejudge the Commission‘s determination of PanAmSat‘s request to operate Intelsat 1R at 50.0° W.L. on a permanent basis, and operation of the satellite at that location pursuant to STA is at PanAmSat‘s risk. Grant of this STA extension request will not result in increased risk of harmful interference. PanAmSat will continue operating the satellite‘s communications payload at 50.0° W.L. in conformance with its sister company Intelsat‘s coordination agreements covering the location. PanAmSat has assessed and limited the probability of the space station becoming a source of debris as a result of collision with large debris or other operational space stations. Except for Intelsat 705, Intelsat 1R is not located at the same orbital location as another satellite or at an orbital location that has an overlapping station—keeping volume with another se‘i’celli‘te.5 Further, PanAmSat is not aware of any other FCC licensed system, or any other system applied for and under consideration by the FCC, having an overlapping station— keeping volume with Intelsat 1R at 50.0° W.L. Finally, PanAmSat is rot aware of any system with an overlapping station—keeping volume with Intelsat 1R that is the subject of an ITU filing and that is either in orbit or progressing towards launch. For the reasons set forth herein, PanAmSat respectfully requests thatthe Commission grant this STA extension request. Sincerely," Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation cc: Bob Nelson Karl Kensinger._ e . Kathyrn Medley Stephen Duall * Intelsat 1R and Intelsat 705 will be operated in the same east/west station— keeping box until Intelsat 705 is relocated.
