           Re:      Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                    Napa, California C/Ku—band Earth Station Testing

           Dear Ms. Dortch:

           Intelsat License LLC (Intelsat") herein requests an additional 180—day
           extension — from December 22, 2011 through June 18, 2012 —— of the
           Special Temporary Authority‘ previously granted Intelsat to test a 1.2
           meter Ku—band antenna." Specifically, Intelsat intends to continue
           communicating with its Galaxy 16 satellite at 99.0° W.L. in the following
           frequencies: 14002—14038 MHz (uplink) and 11702—11738 MHz
           (downlink). During the testing, the antenna will continue to be located at
           Intelsat‘s Napa, California teleport.

           Intelsat seeks further testing of the feasibility of the antenna for certain
           services. Because the further testing will assist Intelsat in meeting
           customer demand for service, grant of this STA extension request is in the
           public interest. Intelsat does not anticipate seeking further extension
           beyond the extension sought herein.

           In support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference
           Exhibit A of its initial STA request, which contains information showing
           that the operation of the earth station 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.


           ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00 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—01360, File No. SES—STA—20110510—00570 (June 29,
           2011) (Public Notice). The Ku—band antenna that is being tested is
           mounted on the back of a 2.4 meter C—band antenna, with a switchable
           feed.
