8. Description PanAmSat Licensee Corp. herein requests a further 60—day extension, through May 16, 2010, of the Special Temporary Authority 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 modify the license of Intelsat 1R to allow it to relocate the satellite to, and operate it in the C— and Ku—bands at, 50.0 W.L.

March 12, 2010 . Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W.— Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Further Extension ofSpecial Temporary Authority for Intelsat 1R Call Sign: $2368 Dear Ms. Dortch: PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests a further 60—day extensmn‘through May 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 temporatrily at the 50.0° W.L. location." PanAmSat has a pending application to modlfy Intelsat 1R‘s license to allow 1tto relocate the satellite to, and operate it in the C— and Ku—bands at, 50.0° W.L.* ‘ Intelsat 1R currently is located at 50.0° W.L., where traffic has been transitioned to the satellite from Intelsat 705. Initially, in order to ease the transition of customers from Intelsat 705 to Intelsat 1R, Intelsat 1R operated at 50.0° W.L. in inclined orbit mode, but is being returned to station—kept mode now that Intelsat 705 is being relocated. Intelsat 1R is expected to be fully station—kept by the end of March. — Grant of this STA further 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. _ 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. 2 See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00656, File No. §AT—STA—20091202—00137 (Dec. 18, 2009) (Public Notice); Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00660, File No. SAT— STA—20100111—00005 (Jan. 15, 2010) (Public Notice). d ts * See Policy Branch Information; Satellite Space Applications Acceptedfor Filing, Report No. SAT—00647, File Nos.

Ms. Marlene H Dortch March 12, 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. 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 satellite. 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 not aware of any system with an overlapping station—keeping volume with Intelsat 1R that is the subject ofan ITU filing and that is either in orbit or progressing towards launch. © For the reasons set forth herein, PanAmSat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this STA further extension request. Sincerely, @W;x C’,L& Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel — Intelsat Corporation . co: Bob Nelson Karl Kensinger Kathyrn Medley Stephen Duall
