                                   Call Sign: 930220
             DIRECTV Enterprises, LC (‘DIRECTV*)hereby requests Special Temporary
     Authority (‘STA")to conduct telemetry, tracking and control (‘TT&C") operations with
     the DIRECTV 5 satelite during its drft from 72.5° W.L. orbitallocation to 109.8° W.L.
     DIRECTV requeststhat this STA become effective upon successfultransfer of raffic
     from DIRECTV 5 to DIRECTV 1 at 72.5° W.L.,and lastforup to thity (30) days
     thereafter. This STA will enable DIRECTV to repositon DIRECTV 5 to replace another
     satellte in its feet that is experiencing technical anomalies.
         DIRECTV currentlyis using DIRECTV 5 to provide DBS service in the United
 States ffom the Canadian—controlled orbital location at72.5° WL. DIRECTV has filed
 applications necessary to swap DIRECTV 1 for DIRECTV 5, and to re—license
 DIRECTV 5 as a U.S. space stationto replace DIRECTV 6, which has continued to
 experience anomaliesthat have limited itsabilty to generate power, at 109.8° W.L.‘
         DIRECTV anticipates the fllowing chain ofevents in connection with the
repositioning of DIRECTV . First, DIRECTV 1 will migate to the 72.5° WL. orbital
Tocation, where it wll be "reflagged" as a Canadian satelite. Still under ts Canadian
Hicense, DIRECTV 5 will be moved slighly (to 72.7° W.L.) to make room for DIRECTV
1 just prior o ts arrival, Over the course ofone evening, the trifi currently cartied on
DIRECTV 5 will be transferred to DIRECTV 1. Once this transferis successfully
completed, DIRECTV 5 will be available to be reflagged as a U.S.satelite, whereupon it
will beain its migration to 109.8° W
        During the relocation of DIRECTV 5, the satelite‘s communications payload will
remain inactive and only the TT&C payload will operate. DIRECTV requests authority
to operate on the following TT&C frequencies:
                  Uplinkc        17301 and 17308 MHz
                  Downlinks      12201 and 12202 Mitc.
DIRECTV will coordinate with potentially affected satelite operators in accordance with
industry practice,and will operate on a nominterference basis.
        Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing DIRECTV to
conduct the maneuvers necessary to address DIRECTV 6faling health and ensure
wuninterrupted service to DIRECTV subscribers. In addition, grant ofthis STA request
will not result in increased risk of harmfl interference to any other system.. This earth

station is already authorized to provide TT&C services using the frequencies needed for
the drit oDIRECTV 5.
       Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfilly requests that the Commission grant this STA
request as expeditiously as possible.




* DIRECTV is alsosecking similar STA for a second carth sttion (E930304) in the ntrest
  of redundancy duringthe drit process
