Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Riverside, California Earth Station E040125 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat North America LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, from May 13, 2008 through June 11, 2008, to use its Riverside, California earth station —— call sign EQO40125 —— to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for the Galaxy 18 satellite that is expected to be Iaunched on May 13, 2008." The LEOP period is expected to last approximately ten days.3 The Galaxy 18 LEOP operatlons will be performed in the followmg frequency bands: e 5926.5 MHz and 6424.5 MHz in the uplink; * 4197,125 MHz and 4198.875 MHz in the downlink. The LEOP operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path." All operators of satellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs.. ‘Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $170.00 filing fee and . this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("BES"). * The permanent orbital location for Galaxy 18 is 123.0° W.L. See Polzcy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00477, File No. SAT— RPL—20070222—00035 (Oct. 26, 2007) (Public Notice). * Intelsat is seeking authority through June 11, 2008 to accommodate a possible launch delay. * SS/L Loral, which is managing the Galaxy 18 launch mission, is conductm7 the coordination. intelsat Corporation _ 3400 International Drive NW, Washington DC 20008—3006 USAwwwintelsat.com T+1 202—944—6800 F+1 202—944—7898

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch March 31, 2008 Page 2 The 24x7 contact information for the Galaxy 18 LEOP mission is as follows: Bast Coast—Satellite Operations Center Attn: Harry Burnham or Mike Munion Ph.: (202) 944—7701 During the LEOP of the Galaxy 18 satellite, the earth station will operate in accordance with parameters previously coord.mated with the Fixed Service, as reflected in the current license for this antenna." Intelsat is seeking the instant STA because the operational parameters, provided as Exhibit A of this application, will exceed the power level limit set forth in Section 25.212(d) of the Commission‘s rules. Grant ofthis STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Galaxy 18 satellite to the 123.0° W.L. location. This, in tum, wfll help ensurecontmmty of services at that location. . Please direct any questions rega.rdmg this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. ' Re‘spectfullysubmitted, @MJA_@LQQ Susan H.
