Special Temporary Authority (STA)


DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC is granted, the STA, for 30days, beginning May 27,
2015, to operate its station Castle Rock, Colorado, to provide Telemetry, Tracking and
Control (TT&C) functions to DIRECTV 15 satellite (call sign 2930) while it is
undergoing in—orbit testing (IOT) at the 66.8° W.L. orbital location and thereafter as it
proceeds to the 103° W.L. orbital location on the center frequencies 29502.5 MHz and
29505.9MHz (Earth—to—space) and 20198.5 MHz and 20199.5 MHz (space—to—Earth)
under the following conditions:

    1. Operations under this authorization must comport with $2930 technical
       operating parameters and the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules.

       All operations under this grant of special temporary authority must be on an
       unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., DIRECTV must not cause
       harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused
       to it by, any other lawfully operating station.

       In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of special temporary
       authority, DIRECTV must cease operations immediately upon notification of
       such interference, and must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of
       such an event.

       DIRECTV must coordinate its TT&C operations with all other potentially
       affected operators and ensure that no harmful interference results.

       Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this
       special temporary authority is solely at DIRECTYV‘s own risk.

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.

                     REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                             Call Signs: E140117 and E150022

        DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") hereby requests Special Temporary
Authority ("STA") for up to 30 days to conduct Telemetry Tracking and Control (TTAC)
for the DIRECTV 15 satellite (call sign 2930) while it is undergoing in—orbit testing
(IOT) at the 66.8° W.L. orbital location,‘ and thereafter during migration to its licensed
position at 103° W.L. (nominal), from its New Hampton, NH (call sign E140117) and
Castle Rock, CO (call sign E150022) earth stations." The specific DIRECTV 15 TTAC
frequencies to be used are 29502.5 MHz and 29505.9 MHz for telecommand and 20198.5
MHz and 20199.5 MHz for telemetry. DIRECTV requests that the STA be structured to
begin upon arrival of the satellite at 66.8° W.L. DIRECTV will coordinate with
potentially affected satellite operators in accordance with industry practice, and will
operate on a non—interference basis during this migration.

        The requested STA will serve the public interest by ensuring that the DIRECTV
15 satellite is properly controlled during IOT and the subsequent migration to its licensed
orbital location. Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests that the Commission grant
this STA request as expeditiously as possible.




!   DIRECTV has requested temporary authority to conduct IOT of the payloads on the
    satellite at 66.8° W.L. before moving it to its licensed orbital location. See IBFS File
    No. SAT—STA—20150415—00023.                                                   '

2    An application for the latter earth station has been submitted that includes DIRECTV
    15 at 103° W.L. as its only point of communication, but that application has not yet
    been acted upon. See SES—LIC—20150316—00157.
