& inteusat Envision. Connect. Transform. February 4, 2015 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Paumalu, Hawaii Earth Station KA265 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 180 days, commencing upon grant, to use its Paumalu, Hawaii C—band earth station—call sx§n KA265— to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for the Eutelsat—11 5WB satellite." Eutelsat— 115WB is expected to be launched no earlier than February 27, 2015. The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 240 days." The Eutelsat—1 1 5WB 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 operatlons will be coordmated 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. The 24x7 contact information for the Eutelsat—1 15WB 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. ‘ 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 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. * Intelsat is seeking authority for 180 days to accommodate the longer orbit—raising time period required for an electric propulsion satellite. * Intelsat will handle the coordination.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch February 4, 2015 Page 2 In further support of this request, Intelsat hereby attaches Exhibit A and B, the Prior Coordination Notice and a waiver request. Intelsat will provide technical information demonstrating 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 prior to launch. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to 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 Eutelsat—1 1 5WB LEOP mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 25.5 dBW. Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the Eutelsat—1 15WB LEOP mission, Boeing will serve as the mission manager. Boeing will build and send the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which will process and execute the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat will be forwarded to Boeing. Intelsat will perform the ranging sessions by sending a tone to the spacecraft periodically. Intelsat will remain in control of the baseband unit, RF equipment, and antenna. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Eutelsat—11 5WB satellite. This, in turn, will help ensure continuity of service at the 114.9° 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, Aprfe. Fory~ Cynthia J.
