Exhibit A Lockheed Martin Corporation Carpentersville, NJ Earth Station Call Sign E7541 STA Request for LEOp TT&C Operations September 2011 Description Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) requests special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate its Carpentersville, New Jersey Ku-band fixed earth station (see File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443, as amended) 1 to provide telemetry, tracking and control (“TT&C”) functions during the post-launch and transfer orbit phases of operation for the QuetzSat-1 satellite that will be operated by QuetzSat, a Mexican satellite operator. QuetzSat-1 is currently scheduled for launch on September 29, 2011, and Lockheed Martin intends to perform test transmissions in preparation for the launch on or about September 27, 2011.2 To the extent required to meet this timetable, Lockheed Martin requests expedited treatment of the instant STA request and action by September 26, 2011. Lockheed Martin specifically seeks authority to transmit on the 17797 MHz and 17793 MHz telecommand uplink channels (both RHCP). The earth station would receive telemetry signals from the QuetzSat-1satellite on the 12.6985 GHz, 12.6945 GHz, 12.692 GHz and 12.693 GHz channels (all RHCP). The mission duration for the TT&C operations requested here is no more than 10 days after launch. Lockheed Martin hereby requests a 30-day STA term to enable it to accommodate any slippage in the launch date without the need for additional authority from the Commission. The transmit frequencies Lockheed Martin seeks to use for the QuetzSat-1 TT&C support operations are not included in Lockheed Martin’s former license for Call Sign E920702 and current application for the Ku-band antenna in File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443 (under Call Sign E7541). Lockheed Martin notes, however, that the Commission previously granted Lockheed Martin STA requests for launch and early-operations TT&C support using frequencies in the general frequency ranges sought in the instant STA request. Most recently, the Commission authorized Lockheed Martin to perform launch support operations for the BSAT-3c satellite in July 2011 using a telecommand frequency at one edge of the 17.3-17.8 GHz band and a telemetry frequency at the edge of the 11.7-12.7 GHz range. See Request of Lockheed Martin Corp. for STA to support LEOp TT&C Functions of BSAT-3c, File No. SES-STA-20110504- 1 The pending application in File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443, under Call Sign E7541, was filed on a provisional basis to replace Lockheed Martin’s inadvertently non-renewed license for a 14.2 meter Ku-band antenna at the Carpentersville, NJ site under Call Sign E920702. Lockheed Martin’s petition to reinstate the license for Call Sign E920702, as well as the “replacement” application it filed in the alternative under File No. SES-LIC-20081103- 01443 and Call Sign E7541, are pending. 2 The test transmissions that would begin on or about September 27, 2011 would occur over a period of approximately two days. During these tests, the earth station would not be communicating with any satellite; instead, the transmissions will be made with the antenna at zenith to verify RF functionality.

00547. See also, Request of Lockheed Martin Corp. for STA to Support LEOp TT&C Functions for EchoStar-7, File No. SES-STA-20020208-00160 (STA to support launch and early operations TT&C functions for EchoStar-7 satellite using 17.3-17.8 GHz band frequencies for Earth-to-space telecommand transmissions) (“EchoStar-7 TT&C STA”). The EchoStar-7 TT&C STA request included a radiation hazard study for this frequency range that Lockheed Martin hereby incorporates by reference. See EchoStar-7 TT&C STA, at Attachment 3. Lockheed Martin’s proposed transmissions on the 17797 MHz and 17793 MHz transmit frequencies will use the emission designators for telecommand functions that are proposed in the pending license application, or will use carriers that do not exceed the highest e.i.r.p., e.i.r.p. density, and bandwidth prescribed in the application for the telecommand carriers. When no commands are being sent, a CW carrier that is within the emission envelope proposed in Lockheed Martin’s application, as amended, would be present. See File No. SES-AMD- 20081219-01664, at Schedule B. The information in the Schedule B portion of Lockheed Martin’s pending application in File No. SES-LIC-20081130-01443, as amended, is hereby incorporated by reference. Lockheed Martin notes that it is possible that during an unexpected emergency with the satellite, the power levels proposed for the earth station in the 2008 application as amended may need to be exceeded to help recover the satellite. Under these extremely unlikely circumstances, Lockheed Martin will make every effort to coordinate such operations with affected users, and will take all reasonable steps to swiftly eliminate any harmful interference caused. Lockheed Martin fully understands that all of its proposed launch and early- operations TT&C support for the QuetzSat-1 launch will be on a strictly non-harmful interference, non-protected basis. Lockheed Martin has secured a temporary frequency coordination that covers the entire proposed STA window (September 27, 2011 through October 26, 2011) for operations on the QuetzSat-1 TT&C frequencies from its Carpentersville earth station facility. The report is attached to this Exhibit A. Lockheed Martin believes that the limited operations it proposed in support of the launch of QuetzSat-1 – operations Lockheed Martin and the satellite operator will coordinate in advance with any and all potentially affected entities that operate communications systems in compliance with the Table of Frequency Allocations during the limited period of use – are required in the public interest. Lockheed Martin’s earth station will be part of a global network of control facilities that will be used to position the satellite as it progresses from transfer orbit to its final location. The safe and orderly use of the entire geostationary orbital resource and protection of the hundreds of satellites from the U.S. and other countries that operate there depends in no small part on ensuring that the QuetzSat-1 satellite is controlled while over North America, and Lockheed Martin’s earth station thus will serve a limited-duration, but nonetheless vital function. Lockheed Martin designates Michael Usarzewicz to be the contact person that will be available whenever transmission to, or reception from, QuetzSat-1 is to occur through the subject earth station. Mr. Usarzewicz can be reached at the following cell phone number: (609)-865- 2658 and/or station number: (908) 859-4050. 2

The antenna to be used for operations under the proposed STA is already built. It is the same antenna that was previously authorized under Call Sign E920270 and that is now the subject of the pending application and reinstatement request described in Note 1 above, and, as noted, has been authorized for use on an STA-basis to support other satellite launches. In sum, Lockheed Martin requests authority to operate its Carpentersville, NJ Ku-band earth station antenna to provide critical TT&C services during the launch and early operations phase of the QuetzSat-1 satellite, for a term of 30 days – including two days for calibration testing, and a 10 day window between September 29 and October 26, 2011 for TT&C support operations. 3
