Exhibit A Lockheed Martin Corporation Carpentersville, NJ Earth Station Call Sign E7541 STA Request for LEOp TT&C Operations June 2012 Description Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) requests special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate its Carpentersville, New Jersey C-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 (“LEOp”) for the Intelsat 23 satellite that is licensed by the Commission under Call Sign S2831 and that will be operated by Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”). Intelsat 23 is currently scheduled for launch on July 6, 2012, and Lockheed Martin intends to perform test transmissions in preparation for the launch on or about July 4, 2012. 2 To the extent required to meet this timetable, Lockheed Martin requests expedited treatment of the instant STA request and action by July 4, 2012. Lockheed Martin specifically seeks authority to transmit using right-hand circular polarization on the 6173.7 MHz and 6176.3 MHz frequencies. The earth station would receive telemetry signals from the Intelsat 23 satellite on the 3947.5 MHz, 3948.0 MHz, 3952.0 MHz, and 3952.5 MHz channels, all with right-hand circular polarization. The mission duration for the LEOp TT&C operations requested here is no more than 10 days after launch. Lockheed Martin hereby requests a 30-day STA term commencing July 4, 2012 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 Intelsat 23 TT&C support operations are not included in Lockheed Martin’s former license for Call Sign E7541 and current application for the C-band antenna in File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443 (also under Call Sign E7541). Lockheed Martin notes, however, that the Commission has previously granted Lockheed Martin STA requests for launch and early-operations TT&C support using its Carpentersville, New Jersey earth station facilities. Most recently, the Commission authorized Lockheed Martin to perform launch support operations for the JCSAT-13 and Vinasat-2 satellites in May 2012. See e.g., Request of Lockheed Martin Corp. for STA to support LEOp TT&C Functions of JCSAT-13 and Vinasat-2, File No. SES-STA-20120427-00403 (Vinasat-2 LEOp TT&C was conducted in C-band). See also Request of Lockheed Martin Corp. for STA to support LEOp TT&C Functions of BSAT-3c, File No. SES-STA-20110504-00547; and Request 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 C-band antenna at the Carpentersville, NJ site. Lockheed Martin’s petition to reinstate the license for Call Sign E7541, as well as the “replacement” application it filed in the alternative under File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443, are pending. 2 The test transmissions that would begin on or about July 4, 2012 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.

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). Lockheed Martin’s pending license application in File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443 included radiation hazard studies for the C-band antenna that Lockheed Martin hereby incorporates by reference. See Exhibit 28 to Application of Lockheed Martin Corporation, File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443. The transmit frequencies Lockheed Martin seeks to use for the Intelsat 23 LEOp TT&C support operations are not included in Lockheed Martin’s former license for Call Sign E7541 and current application for the C-band antenna in File No. SES-LIC-20081103-01443 (also under Call Sign E7541). Lockheed Martin emphasizes that its proposed transmissions on the 6173.7 MHz and 6176.3 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 for the proposed C-band operation. With respect to the proposed telemetry receive operations at 3947.5 MHz, 3948.0 MHz, 3952.0 MHz, and 3952.5 MHz, Lockheed Martin notes that these C-band telemetry receive frequencies are already proposed for inclusion in the license for Call Sign E7541 in the pending license application. Lockheed Martin has secured a temporary frequency coordination for operations on the Intelsat 23 telecommand frequencies from its Carpentersville earth station facility. The report is attached to this Exhibit A as Attachment 1. The receive frequencies are encompassed within the scope of the frequency coordination that is associated with the former license for Call Sign E7541 and current application in File No. SES-LIC-20081130-01443, as amended, so no separate report is provided here. Lockheed Martin notes that it is possible that during an unexpected emergency with either satellite, the power levels proposed for the earth station in the license application for Call Sign E7541, 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 LEOp TT&C support for the Intelsat 23 launch will be on a strictly non-harmful interference, non-protected basis. Lockheed Martin believes that the limited operations it proposed in support of the launch of Intelsat 23 – operations Lockheed Martin and the satellite operator will coordinate in advance 2

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 Intelsat 23 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, Intelsat 23 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. 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 E7541 and that is now the subject of the pending application and reinstatement request described in Note 1 above. As noted, the C- band antenna 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 C-band earth station antenna to provide critical TT&C services during the launch and early operations phase of the Intelsat 23 satellite, for a term of 30 days – including two days for calibration testing, and a 10 day window between July 4 and August 3, 2012 for TT&C support operations. 3
