HNS License Sub, LLC FCC Form 312 — STA Narrative Exhibit July 2007 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Call Signs: E060382 and E060383 HNS License Sub, LLC ("Hughes") hereby requests Special Temporary Authority beginning on August 14, 2007, and continuing for 30 days thereafter (to September 13, 2007) to operate its transmit/receive Earth Stations at Castle Rock, Colorado, Call Sign E060382,‘ and Fillmore, California, Call Sign E060383," at an increased maximum EIRP level per carrier of up to 93.0 dBW for a single emission designator. The temporary increase in power is needed by Hughes, which uses the two earth station for telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") operations, to support the orbit raising maneuvers and in—orbit testing of the SPACEWAY 3 satellite, Call Sign $2663. SPACEWAY 3, a Ka—band fixed—satellite service ("FSS") satellite to be located at 94.95° W.L., is fully constructed and is scheduled to be launched from Kourou, French Guiana on August 14, 2007. Hughes is requesting Special Temporary Authority to increase the maximum EIRP level per carrier from 56.3 dBW to 93.0 dBW for emission designator 600KFID for TT&C Earth Stations E060382 (Castle Rock, CO) and EO60383 (Fillmore, CA) to perform orbit raising maneuvers and in—orbit testing of SPACEWAY 3. Under this request, the maximum EIRP density level per carrier will equal the maximum aggregate output level specified in the earth station licenses for all carriers for short periods of time. In accordance with industry practice, Hughes has undertaken to coordinate the temporary increase in power with operators of all co—frequency spacecraft within six degrees of longitudinal separation for SPACEWAY 3 at 94.95° W.L., and will operate in accordance with the coordination arrangements it reaches. Hughes intends not to transmit in excess of the per—carrier power level authorized in its license through the geostationary are in order to avoid interference with satellites in geostationary orbit. All operations under this STA that are at variance with the underlying licenses for the subject earth stations will be performed on a non—harmful interference basis. No additional changes to the remaining authorized transmitting and receiving frequency bands are requested by this request for Special Temporary Authority. During the orbit raising maneuvers of SPACEWAY 3, the satellite‘s communications payload will be turned off and only TT&C functions will be used. Hughes is requesting identical authority for the two TT&C earth stations used for SPACEWAY 3 to ensure itself the maximum amount of flexibility in testing the Ka—band ‘ See File No. SES—LIC—20061017—01852, as amended by File Nos. SES—AMD—20061103—01954 and SES— AMD—20070207—00204. * See File No. SES—LIC—20061017—01869, as amended by SES—AMD—20061103—01952 and SES—AMD— 20070207—00203. 246507

payload on an abbreviated schedule, and to provide redundancy in terms of number and site diversity should a problem arise with one of the antennas. The requested Special Temporary Authority will serve the public interest by ensuring that Hughes‘ SPACEWAY 3 satellite can be maneuvered and successfully tested so that it will reach its licensed orbital location safely and in good working order, and that once on station, the satellite can begin to make productive use of the valuable spectrum and orbital resources as soon as possible. Adding new Ka—band fixed—satellite service capacity for the provision of commercial services to customers in the United States is very much in the public interest. Hughes is submitting this request pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(4) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(4), and is doing so more than three business days in advance of the requested commencement date. To the extent that in—orbit testing may take more than 30 days from August 14, Hughes may need to seek an extension of the authority requested here in due course. A complementary request for temporary authority to operate the SPACEWAY 3 satellite at variance from its authorization for in— orbit testing purposes will be filed by Hughes Communications, Inc. For all of the foregoing reasons, Hughes respectfully requests that the Commission grant this request for Special Temporary Authority to operate the SPACEWAY 3 TT&C earth stations for in—orbit testing of SPACEWAY 3 for a period of 30 days, commending August 14, 2007. 246507
