 Re:       Request for Further Extension of STA to Operate a New 9.2m Ka—band
           Antenna at Intelsat‘s Riverside Teleport

 Déar Ms. Dortch:

 Intelsat North America LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a further 30—day
 extension —— through July 21, 2010 —— of the Special Temporary Authority
 ("STA*") previously granted Intelsat to test a new 9.2m Ka—band antenna
 located at its existing Riverside, CA teleport.2

 ‘A further extension is necessary because late delivery of critical antennia sub—
  components delayed the tests. Antenna pattern testing has been completed. °
 Final performance tests, however, have yet to be completed.

 As originally requested, Intelsat will transmit in the 29500—30000 MHz bands
 and receive in the 19700—20200 MHz bands. Also as originally requested, the
— antenna will communicate with Galaxy 28 at 89° W.L. during testing. Galaxy
 28 will be utilized for antenna gain patterns verification — transmit and receive
 in both azimuth and elevation in both polarizations (linear and circular) —— and
 for cross—polarization patterns verification.

 In support of this further extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference
<the materials submitted with its original STA request to test this antenna —
 specifically, the detailed technical information (in Exhibits A—D) that

 ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $175.00 filing fee and
 this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s F111ng
— System (“IBFS”) ‘

  demonstrates that the operation of theearth station at 89° W.L. during testing
  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.

 For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the
 Commission grant this further extension request.                          '
