Attachment to Grant IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20101012—00214 Call Signs: $2814 December 2, 2010 The request of Intelsat North America LLC (Intelsat) for special temporary authority (STA), File No. SAT—STA—20101012—00214, is granted. Accordingly, Intelsat is authorized, for a period of 30 days, to perform in—orbit testing (IOT) of the Intelsat 17 space station (Call Sign $2814) at the 63.15° E.L. orbital location using the 3625—4200 MHz (space—to—Earth), 5850—6425 MHz (Earth—to—space), 10950—1 1200 MHz (space—to—Earth), 11450—11700 MHz (space—to—Earth), and 12500—12750 MHz (space—to—Earth), and 13750—14500 MHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. Intelsat is also authorized to conduct telemetry, tracking and telecommand (TT&C) operations centered on frequencies at 3947.5 MHz and 3952.5 MHz (space—to—Earth) and 6173.7 MHz and 6176.3 MHz (Earth—to—space) necessary to maintain Intelsat 17 at 63.15° E.L. and to drift Intelsat 17 to its assigned orbital location of 66.0° E.L. upon completion of IOT. This authorization is granted in accordance with the terms and technical specifications in the STA application, the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules, and the following conditions. ' 1. All operations shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., Intelsat shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system. 2. In the event any harmful interference results from operation pursuant to this STA, Intelsat shall cease the interfering operation(s) immediately upon notification of such interference and shall immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of the event. 3. Intelsat‘s operations pursuant to this STA shall be limited to in—orbit testing and shall not include provision of commercial services. 4. Intelsat shall coordinate its IOT operations pursuant to this STA with the operators of potentially— affected geostationary satellites to ensure that no unacceptable interference results from such operation. 5. This action is taken pursuant to 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.

8. Description Intelsat North America LLC herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority for 30 days, from December 1, 2010 through December 30, 2010, to conduct in—orbit testing of Intelsat 17 (call sign S$2814) at 63.15 E.L. in the bands 3625—4200 MHz ({downlink), 5850—6425 MHz ({uplink), 10950— 11200 MHz, 11450—11700 MHz, and 12500—12750 MHz (downlink), and 13750—14500 MHz (uplink) and to drift the satellite to its permanent location of 66.0 E.L.

October 12, 2010 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary _ Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 INTELSAT. Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Conduct In—Orbit Testing of Intelsat 17; Call Sign: $2814 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat North America LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, from December 1, 2010 through December 30, 2010, to conduct in—orbit testing ("IOT") of Intelsat 17 (call sign $2814) at 63.15° E.L. in the bands 3625—4200 MHz (downlink), 5850—6425 MHz (uplink), 10950—11200 MHz, 11450—11700 MHz, and 12500—12750 MHz (downlink), and 13750—14500 MHz {uplink) and to drift the satellite to its permanent location of 66.0° E.L. Intelsat 17 currently is scheduled to be launched as early as November 24, 2010. In support of its request, Intelsat submits the following information. During in—orbit testing of Intelsat 17,Intelsat will operate in the above referenced C— and Ku—bands. Intelsat has coordinated the planned in—orbit testing of Intelsat 17 with all operators of satellites operating co—frequency up: _ to six degrees away from 63.15° E.L. Specifically, Intelsat has coordinated the proposed testing with Inmarsat, which operates the Inmarsat 3F 1 satellite at 64.5° EL. In addition, Intelsat has internally coordinated the proposed testing with the following of its satellites: Intelsat 904 (call sign S2408) at 60.0° E.L., Intelsat 902 (call sign $2406) at 62.0° E.L., Intelsat 906 (call sign $2410) at 64.15° E.L., Intelsat 702 (call sign 82388) at 66.0° E.L., Intelsat 10 (call sign $2382) at 685° E.L., and Intelsat 7 (call sign $2229) at68 65° E.L. In the unlikely event that harmfulr interference occurs, Intelsat will take all necessary steps to eliminate the interference. Intelsat 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 operatlonal ‘ Intelsat has filed th15 STA request, an FCCForm 159 and an $830.00 fihng fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. * See Policy Branch Information; Satellite Space Authorizations Acceptedfor Filing, Report No. SAT—00714, File No. SAT—LOA—20100726—00167 (Aug. 27, 2010) (Public Not1ce) During the drift from 63.15° E.L. to 66. 0° EL., _ only the satelhte s TT&C frequencies will be utilized.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch . October 12, 2010. . .. 2 _ _ . . Page 2 space stations during in—orbit testing at 63.15° E.L. Intelsat 17 will not be located at the same orbital location as another satellite or at an orbital location that has an overlapping station—keeping volume with andther satellite. Further, Intelsat is not aware of any other ECC licensed system, or any other system applied forand under consideration by the FCC, having an overlapping station— keeping volume with Intelsat 17. Finally, Intelsat is not aware of any system with an overlapping station—keeping volume with Intelsat 17 that is the subject of an ITU filing and that is either in orbit or progressing towards launch. The in—orbit testing of Intelsat 17 at 63.15° EL. is a critical step in ensuring that the satellite will be fully operational at 66.0° EL. This, in turn, will ensure continuity of service to customers at the 66.0° E.L. location, and thereby promotes the public interest. For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this request. Sincerely, @Wu_q/@& Susan H. Crandall _ Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation Co: Robert Nelson Karl Kensinger Kathyrn Medley Stephen Duall
