Ms. Marlene H. Dortch November 29, 2010 Page 2 > As PanAmSat previously has informed the International Bureau ("Bureau") staff, on April 5, 2010, the Galaxy 15 satellite suffered an anomaly of unknown origin. Due to this anomaly, the satellite has drifted outside of its authorized +/— 0.05° East/West station—keeping box pursuant to STA.* During the time period covered by this STA request, Galaxy 15 will be located between approximately 103.137° W.L. and 97.7° W.L. .

Good cause exists in this case based on hardship.
