July 19, 2010 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary _ Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 INTELSAT. Re: Request for Further Extension of STA to Operate a New 9.2m Ka—band Antenna at Intelsat‘s Riverside Teleport Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat North America LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional seven— day extensmn —— through July 28, 2010 —— of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA") previously granted Intelsat to test anew 9.2m Ka—band antenna located at its existing Riverside, CA teleport." As noted in pfevious extension requests, late delivery of critical antenna sub— — components delayed final performance tests of this antenna. Customer demonstrations currently are scheduled for July 20—21. So as to ensure it has the ability to address issues that may come up during those demonstrations, however, Intelsat is herein seeking a seven—day further extension of its STA. Intelsat does not expect to seek further extension beyond the July 28, 2010 date sought herein. As originally requested, Intelsat will transmit in the 29500—3 OOOO 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 tests for Intelsat‘s customer. Galaxy 28 will be utilized for antenna gain patterns ‘ 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 Filing System ("IBFS"). *>See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01231, File No. SES—STA—20091204—01561 (Mar. 31, 2010) (Public Notice); Intelsat North America LLC RequestforExtension ofSTA to Operate a New 9.2m Ka—band Antenna at Intelsat‘s Riverside Teleport, File No. SES— STA—20100416—00449 (stamp grant issued by Shahnaz Ghavami on Apr. 22, 2010); Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01249, File No. SES—STA—20100517—00601 (June 2, 2010) (Public Notice); Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01258, File No. SES—STA—20100616—00707 (Jul. 7, 2010) (Public Notice).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch July 19, 2010 Page 2 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 demonstrates that the operation of the earth 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. Sincerely, SusanH. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation cc: _ Kathyrn Medley Shahnaz Ghavami Jeanette Spriggs
