extension — through October 5, 2009 —— of the Special Temporary Authority
("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to utilize its Clarksburg, Maryland Ku—
band earth station to operate in new TT&C frequencles with the Intelsat 11
satellite at 43.1° W.L and 43.0° W.L., the latter prior to grant of permanent
operating authority." Specifically, the antenna will continue to communicate in
the center frequencies 11448.0 MHz and 11449.0 MHz (downlink) and
13246.5 MHz and 13995.5 MHz (uplink). Intelsat has a pending application
for authority to use this antenna to transmit in these frequencies on a
permanent basis to Intelsat 11 at 43.0° W.L.3

 Intelsat will continue to use this antenna in support of satellite transition
operations that began in July. Specifically, this antenna will be used to provide
 TT&C services to the Intelsat 11 satellite at its current location of 43.0° W.L.*

In support of this request, Intelsat mcorporates by reference its pendmg
application for authority to use this antenna to transmit in these frequencies on
