Exhibit 1 REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, Telesat Network Services, Inc. (“Telesat”) hereby requests a 30-day extension of its Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) 1 to operate a 15-m antenna, which is licensed under Call Sign KA399 and is located at Telesat’s teleport in Mt. Jackson, Virginia, as a temporary replacement for its 9-m antenna. The STA permits Telesat to use its 15-m antenna to communicate with Telstar 11N, which is not an authorized point of communication on the license for the antenna. Telesat’s 9-m antenna had been taken out of service for repairs after it had exhibited signs of failure. Although the 9-m antenna recently was returned to service following major renovations, Telesat needs its 15-m antenna to be available on a “hot standby” basis during a check-out period, in case problems should develop. Accordingly, Telesat requests STA for an additional thirty (30) day period, until January, 27, 2012. Telesat does not expect to file any further requests to extend its STA. Telesat’s extension request is supported by good cause, because an extension will enable Telesat to provide continuity of service should issues arise during the check-out period. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, Telesat respectfully requests that its STA extension request be granted. 1 File No. SES-STA-20111121-01383.
