INTELSAT Envision. Connect. Transform. September 17, 2014 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station KL92 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, commencing October 16, 2014, to use its Castle Rock, Colorado Ku—band earth station—call sign KL92— to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for Intelsat 30, which is expected to be launched on October 16, 2014. Intelsat also requests STA to provide telemetry, tracking, and control ("TT&C") services at the in—orbit testing ("IOT") location, 132.0° W.L., and to drift the satellite from the IOT location to Intelsat 30‘s final location at 95.05° W.L. The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 13750.50 MHz and 14003.50 MHz in the uplink (LHCP), and 11198.00 MHz, 11198.50 MHz, 11199.25 MHz, and 11199.75 MHz in the downlink (RHCP). The proposed operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path, the drift path, or are potentially affected by these operations at the IOT location." All operators of potentially affected satellites will be 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 Intelsat 30 mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this request, Intelsat hereby attaches Exhibit A, which contains 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 terrestrial facility. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $195.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). * Intelsat will handle the coordination.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch September 17, 2014 Page 2 transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Intelsat also notes that for purposes of the Intelsat 30 mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in this request at power levels not to exceed 28.0 dBW. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launchthe Intelsat 30 satellite. This, in turn, will help ensure continuity of service at the 95.05° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559—6949. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia J. Grady Regulatory Counsel Intelsat Corporation ce: Paul Blais
