Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority for 9.2m Ka—band Antenna, Riverside, California Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days — from August 15, 2012 through September 13, 2012 — of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA") ‘ previously granted Intelsat to utilize a 9.2m Ka—band antenna located at its Riverside, CA teleport to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services, as well as provide TT&C services temporarily during the IOT phase, to the EchoStar XVII satellite ({/k/a Jupiter—1 and SPACEWAY—4), which was launched on July 5, 2012." The satellite currently is undergoing in—orbit testing. The EchoStar XVII TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequency bands: 28.351 GHz and ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). 2 See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01467, Files No. SES—STA—20120710— 00644 (July 18, 2012) (Public Notice); Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01459, File No. SES—STA—20120504—00421 (June 20, 2012) (Public Notice).

The satellite originally was licensed by the United Kingdom and had been authorized to serve the United States. See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00687, File No. SAT—LOI—20091110—00119 (May 7, 2010) (Public Notice).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch August 9, 2012 Page 2 28.353 GHz (uplink) and 19.7005 GHz and 19.7025 GHz (downlink). The TT&C operations have been coordinated with all potentially affected operators. All potentially affected operators have been provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. The 24x7 contact information for the EchoStar XVII IOT mission is as follows: Ph.: (202) 944—7701 —East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5900 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In support of this further extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference the exhibits submitted with its original STA request, which include a waiver request, as well as detailed technical information that demonstrates 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 oceur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. In further support of this further extension request, Intelsat notes that for purposes of the EchoStar XVII IOT mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed above at the nominal power level of 88 dBW. As noted above, the transmissions proposed herein will be coordinated with potentially affected operators of co— frequency satellites. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA further extension request will enable Intelsat to help launch the EchoStar XVII satellite. This will serve the public interest by providing additional broadband service to consumers in the United States.
