Ms. Marlene H. Dortch August 5, 2011 Page 2 The proposed LEOP operations will be performed in conformance with the antenna‘s licensed parameters. As such, the proposed LEOP operations are not expected to cause harmful interference into lawfully operating Fixed Service facilities. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the SES—2 satellite to the 87.0° W.L. location. This, in turn, will promote the public interest by ensuring continuity of service from that location. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848.
