                  Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority

         On September 4, 2013, the International Bureau granted the request filed by O3b
Limited (“O3b”) for special temporary authority (“STA”) 1 to operate its earth station
located in Bristow, Virginia (the “Virginia Earth Station”) in accordance with the
parameters specified in its underlying application for permanent authority. 2 The STA
has a term through October 26, 2013. Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s
rules, 3 O3b hereby requests an extension of its STA covering the 30-day period between
October 26, 2013, and November 25, 2013.

        O3b’s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable
O3b to continue its monitoring so that it may identify and resolve space station and
system anomalies following the launch of the first four space stations in its
constellation. By granting O3b’s initial STA request, the Bureau already has found that
facilitating these activities is in the public interest.

       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, O3b respectfully requests that its STA
extension request be granted.
