            . Re: Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority for
                  Galaxy 27; Call Sign: $2159

              Dear Ms. Dortch:

              Intelsat North America LLC (Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30—day
              extension —— through August 29, 2010 ——of the Special Temporary Authority
              ("STA*"") previously granted Intelsat to operate the communications frequencies
              and TT&C carriers on the Galaxy 27 satellite at 45.10° E.L.

              The specific communications frequencies for which Intelsat seeks continued
              authority are:

              3700—4200 MHz (space to Earth) and 5925—6425 MHz (Earth to space)
              11.7—12.2 GHz (space to Earth) and 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth to space)

              The specific TT&C frequencies are:

              Telecommand frequencies:                   6423.5 (V)
              Telemetry frequencies:                     4199.5 (H)

              Intelsat plans, upon receipt of Commission approval, to re—flag Galaxy 27 from
              United States licensing to German licensing." Until such time as the exchange
              of licensing administrations can occur, however, Intelsat needs to continue

 TT&C and communications payload transmissions to the satellite at 45.10° E.L.
 The payload transmissions are for mission critical services for a U.S.
 Government customer.

 Grant of this further extension request will serve the public interest by allowing
 Intelsat to continue operating at 45.10° E.L. and thereby help ensure continuity
 of mission critical services for a U.S. Government customer. In addition, a
 furtherextension will allow the Commission more time to consider the pending
 application to re—flag the satellite from U.S. to German licensing authority.

 Intelsat will operate the spacecraft so as to ensure that it will not cause
  interference to adjacent satellites. As such, grantof the requested further
  extension will not present any significant risk of interference to other users.
  Moreover, Intelsat will operate at 45.10° E.L. on a non—interference, non—
© protected basis.              >                       >            ‘

 For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the
 Commission expeditiously grant this further extension requestto continue
 operating the TT&C and communications frequencies on Galaxy 27 at 45.10°
 EL.                    '                    ‘
