October 25, 2012 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 INTELSAT Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Hagerstown, Maryland Earth Station KA258 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA*)‘ for 30 days, from November 20, 2012 through December 19, 2012, to use its Hagerstown, Maryland Ku—band earth station —— call sign KA258 —— to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for the Echostar—16 satellite that is expected to be launched on November 20, 2012. The LEOP period is expected to last approximately six days.3 The Echostar—16 LEOP operations will be performed in the following frequency bands: 17307.0 MHz and 17795.5 MHz in the uplink (RHCP), and 12696.5 MHz, 12697.5 MHz, 12694.0 MHz, 12695.0 MHz in the downlink (RHCP). The maximum uplink EIRP transmitted during the LEOP operations will be 85 dBW, with an emission designator of 800KF2D. The LEOP operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path. As such, there would be no risk of interference with respect to lawfully operating, co—frequency radiocommunication facilities. Nevertheless, all operators of satellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. The 24x"7 contact information for the Echostar—16 LEOP 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. ‘ 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"). * The permanent orbital location for Echostar—16, which is licensed by the United States, will be 61.5° E.L. The in—orbit testing location will be 67.1° E.L. * Intelsat is seeking authority through December 19, 2012 to accommodate a possible launch delay.

Ms. Matrlene H. Dortch October 25, 2012 Page 2 In addition, Intelsat attaches Exhibit A, which includes technical information indicating that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial or government facility, In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will takeall reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Echostar—16 satellite. This, in turn, will help ensure continuity of service at the 61.5° E.L. location and thereby promotes the public interest. ‘ Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848.
