Conditions of Grant of SES—STA—20110509—00568 Intelsat Licenses LLC is granted Special Temporary Authority to transmit to the ViaSat—1 satellite on 29.5005 GHz and 29.503 GHz (uplink, RHCP) and receive from the ViaSat—1 satellite on 19.701 GHz and 19.703 GHz (downlink, RHCP) for 30 days commencing upon the day of launch and expiring no later than 30 September 2011 using a 9.2m antenna located at its Riverside, CA teleport to provide launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) services to the ViaSat—1 satellite. Earth station operations are limited to transmission and reception applied for in Attachment 1 to form 312 of this application under the following conditions. 1. All operations shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., Intelsat shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station. 2. In the event that there is a report of interference, Intelsat must immediately terminate transmissions and notify the FCC in writing. 3. Intelsat must comply with all FAA antenna height restrictions defined in 47 CFR Part 17. 4. 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. The 24x7 contact information for the ViaSat—1 LEOP mission is as follows: Ph.: (202) 944—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary);(310) 525—5900 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) 5. Intelsat must make all reasonable and customary measures to ensure that the temporary earth station does not create a potential for harmful non—ionizing radiation to persons who may be in the vicinity of the earth station when it is in operation. At a minimum, permanent warning labels shall be fixed to the earth station and its housing warning of the radiation hazard and including a diagram showing the regions around the earth station where radiation levels could exceed 1 .OmW/em2. The earth station operator shall be responsible for assuring that individuals do not stray into the regions around the earth station where there is a potential for exceeding the maximum permissible exposure limits required by 47 C.F.R. §1.1310. This shall be accomplished by means of signs, caution tape, verbal warnings, placement of the earth station so as to minimize access to the hazardous region, and/or other appropriate means. 6. Though market access and the Transfer and Emergency link budget was approved via SAT— LOI—20080107—00006 the power flux density (PFD) of the VIASAT—1 may be no greater than — 124.3 dBW/m*~2/MHz during the launch and early operation phase of VIASAT when it is not at it‘s GSO location. 7. Any extension of the STA must be supported by completion of US 334 coordination. with Coarditrs s ~I Files SES—STA 2A0/0507—003EP _ all Sign /A___ GremDate 03/;’1,43// Lim CHY Lig T 102. p4odegs 24 Internati« q nrears "‘\»5",‘}‘_3“2
