Re:      Request for Special Temporary Authority
         Fillmore, California C—band Earth Station E860175

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special
Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 10 days, from July 23, 2012
through August 1, 2012, to utilize its Fillmore, California C—band
earth station to perform a semi—annual command and range test of
emergency TT&C transmissions to the DBSD—G1 ({/k/a ICO—G1)
satellite at 92.85° W.L. The test will be conducted in the frequency
bands 6424.5 MHz and 5925.5 MHz (uplink) and 3701.5 MHz and
4198.5 MHz (downlink). Although the test likely will not last longer
than a day, Intelsat seeks authority for 10 days in order to provide
scheduling flexibility.

Intelsat‘s license for this antenna provides authority to use this
antenna to provide emergency TT&C services to this satellite in these
frequencies on a permanent basis for five days." The proposed test
operations will be conducted in accordance with the parameters of the
current license. Accordingly, the operation of the earth station for the
proposed test will be compatible with the antenna‘s 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.

Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat to assist DBSD ({/k/a
ICO) in ensuring the reliability of emergency TT&C services for the
DBSD—G1 satellite at 92.85° W.L. This, in turn, serves the public


‘ 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").
