            Dear Ms. Dortch:

            PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests an additional 60—day
            extensmn through July 14, 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 temporarilyat the 50.0° W.L. location." PanAmSat has
            a pending application to modlfy Intelsat 1R‘s license to allow itto 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. It has been operating in station—
            kept mode following the relocation of Intelsat 705.

            Grant of this STA further extension request is in thepublic 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 further extension
            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..

            ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and an $830.00 filing
            fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. _

Grant of this STA further 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 of an
ITU filmgand thatis 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,




Susan H. Crandall
Assistant General Counsel
Intelsat Corporation
