         Re:      Request for Special Temporary Authority
                  Fillmore, California Earth Station E000363

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for
30 days, commencing March 13, 2015, to use its Fillmore, California C—band earth station—call sign
EO00363—to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for the Eutelsat—1 15WB satellite."
Eutelsat—1 15WB is expected to be launched no earlier than February 27, 2015. The LEOP period is
expected to last approximately 240 days."

The Eutelsat—1 15WB 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.* 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 concurrently authority for 180 days to accommodate the longer orbit—raising time period required for
an electric propulsion satellite.
* Intelsat will handle the coordination.

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 15WB 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 1 5WB 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—1 15WB 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,




Cynthia J. Grady
Regulatory Counsel
Intelsat Corporation
