Applicant: Intelsat License LLC
Call Sign: KL92
File No.: SES—STA—20141112—00856
Special Temporary Authority (ST A)

Intelsat License LLC is granted STA to operate its earth station Call Sign KL92 in Castle
Rock, Colorado for 30 days to conduct launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) services and
provide telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C) functions during in—orbit testing (I0T)
and drift of the U.S. licensed Intelsat 30 satellite. The satellite is expected to be launched
on October 16, 2014, to continue providing TT&C services to Intelsat 30 at its permanent location of
95.05° W.L. The LEOP and TT&C operations during IOT will be under the
following conditions:

1. Intelsat will perform the operations in the uplink frequencies (Earth—to—space):
13750.50 MHz and 14003.50 MHz (LHCP) and the downlink frequencies
(space—to—Earth): 11198.00 MHz, 11198.50 MHz, 11199.25 MHz and
11199.75 MHz (RHCP). The maximum EIRP shall not exceed 85 dBW per
NTIA manual US 356.

2. Intelsat will coordinate the proposed I0T operations at IOT location 132.0°
W.L. with operators of co—frequency satellites within six degrees. During the
drift from 132.0° W.L. to the satellite‘s permanent orbital location 95.05°
W.L., Intelsat will coordinate with operators of co—frequency satellites in the
drift path.

3. LEOP operations must be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the
same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path. 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. Currently the 24x7 contact
information for the Intelsat 30 LEOP 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.

4. Operations, shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim
protection from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating
station and it shall cease transmission(s) immediately upon notice of such
interference.

5. In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of STA, Intelsat
License LLC KL92 must cease operations immediately upon notification of
.such interference, and must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately
of such an event.

6. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the
Commission may make regarding pending or future Intelsat License LLC
applications.

7. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this


STA is solely at Intelsat License LLC‘s risk.

8. "Operations in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band may only exceed 85 dBw/carrier if an emergency situation
exists and the applicant must notify FCCOperationCenter@fcc.gov of the situation with copy to
paul.blais@fcc.gov."

This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on
delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, and is effective immediately.

           Re:         Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                       Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station KL92

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days—from November 16, 2014
through December 15, 2014—of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat
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 was launched on October 16, 2014." Intelsat also
requests extension of its 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. Finally, Intelsat requests that this STA extension include the ability to
continue providing TT&C services to Intelsat 30 at its permanent location of 95.05° W.L. Intelsat has a
pending application to permanently modify the antenna‘s license for this on—station TT&C.

Intelsat 30 has completed IOT at 132.0° W.L. and is currently drifting to 95.05° W.L. The satellite is
expected to be on—station at 95.05° W.L. on or around November 21, 2014.

The Intelsat 30 operations will continue to 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). Intelsat will continue to coordinate 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 95.05° W.L. 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.




‘ 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").

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 incorporates by reference the Exhibit A, submitted with its
original STA request, 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 transmissions to or fromits 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to complete the Intelsat 30 launch mission and to
ensure safe station—keeping of the 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—7848.

Respectfully submitted,
