The Horizons 2 LEOP operations will be performed in the following uplink frequency bands: 14000.5 MHz and 14499.5 MHz. The LEOP operations will — be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch November 20, 2007 — Page 2 In further support of this request, PanAmSat is attaching Exhibits A and B, which contain technical information concerning the Horizons 2 LEOP operations. PanAmSat also riotes that for purposes of the Horizons 2 LEOP mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 27 dBW. The technical information submitted with the STA request reflects a higher power level of 27.3 dBW, because that is thelevel at which PanAmSat might operate in the event an emergency necessitates the use of a higher power level in order to command the satellite. Grant of this STA request will allow PanAmSat to help launch the Horizons 2 satellite to the 74.05° W.L. location. This, in turn, will help ensure continuity of existing services at that location, and thereby promote the public interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. ' ‘ Réspethlllly submitted, Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel — Intelsat Corporation Co: Scott Kotler
