12. Description

SES Americom,     Inc.   requests STA for 60 days beginning June 16,    2012,   to allow E110104 to
communicate with NSS—7 at 20 W.L. to provide TT&C and carry customer traffic.  Temporary authority

license to reflect the recent relocation of NSS—7 to 20 W.L.,          File No.   SES—MFS—20120525—00476.


                                                                              SES Americom, Inc.
                                                                                       Page 1 of 1

                                         STA REQUEST
                                      Earth Station E110104

                SES Americom, Inc. (doing business as "SES") hereby requests special temporary
authority ("STA") for a period of 60 days, beginning on June 16, 2012, to allow its Bristow, VA
earth station (call sign E110104) to continue to communicate with the NSS—7 spacecraft
following the recent relocation of the spacecraft from 22° W.L. to 20° W.L. Grant of the
requested STA will serve the public interest by enabling SES to use this earth station to provide
Tracking, Telemetry and Command ("TT&C") for NSS—7 and carry customer traffic to ensure
service continuity for NSS—7 users.

                SES has requested a modification of the E110104 license to update the authorized
points of communications to reflect the NSS—7 relocation.‘ SES seeks STA pending action on
that modification. The Commission previously granted STA allowing SES to use E110104 to
communicate with the NSS—7 spacecraft during and after its relocation, and the term of the
current STA expires on June 16. Accordingly, to ensure continuity of communications, SES
requests that the instant STA be granted effective June 16. SES incorporates by reference the
information previously provided in support of the E110104 Modification and the prior E110104
STA request.

Modification").
