                      Dear Ms. Dortch:

                      Intelsat North America LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special
                      Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 60 days, from June 22, 2009 through
                      August 20, 2009, to utilize its new Ellenwood, Georgia Ku—band earth station
                      prior to grant of permanent operating authority. The antenna will
                      communicate in the frequency bands 11700—12200 MHz and 14000—14500
                      MHz during the STA period requested herein. Intelsat has a pending
                      application for authority to use this antenna to transmit in these frequencies,
                      among others, on a permanent basis.*

                       Intelsat plans to use this antenna to conduct antenna verification testing with its
                       Galaxy 18 satellite at 123° W.L. This testing is being conducted in preparation
                     _ for the antenna‘s use in an upcoming satellite transition.

                       In support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference its pending
                       application forauthonty to use this antenna to transmit in these frequencies on
                       a permanent basis." The application contains detailed technical information (in
                       Exhibits A—D) that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be
                       compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful
                       interference into any lawfully operating facility. In the extremely unlikely
                       event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable
                       steps to eliminate the interference.

                     . Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat to ensure that the antenna will be
                       ready for satellite transition operations in accordance with the schedule that has
