December 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 Fillmore, California Earth Station E4132 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) 1 for 180 days, commencing February 1, 2015, to use its Fillmore, California C-band earth station—call sign E4132—to provide launch and early orbit phase (“LEOP”) services for the Eutelsat-115WB satellite. Eutelsat-115WB is expected to be launched no earlier than February 1, 2015.2 The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 196 days.3 The Eutelsat-115WB LEOP operations will be performed in the following frequency bands: 6423.5 MHz and 6421.5 MHz in the uplink (LHCP), and 4199.0 MHz and 4199.8 MHz in the downlink (LHCP). The LEOP operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path. 4 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 24x7 contact information for the Eutelsat-115WB 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. 1 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”). 2 The permanent orbital location for Eutelsat-115WB, which Intelsat understands is licensed by Mexico, will be at 114.9° W.L. The in-orbit testing location will be 114.9° E.L. 3 Intelsat is seeking authority for 180 days to accommodate the longer orbit-raising time period required for an electric propulsion satellite. 4 Intelsat will handle the coordination.
