location on the center frequencies :14001 and 14496.5MHz (Earth —to—space) 11700.75 and
11702.25

    1.   Operations under this authorization must comport with $2861 technical operating
         parameters and the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules.

         interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any
         other lawfully operating station.

   3.    In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of special temporary authority,

                     REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                                 Call Sign: E150029

        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 KU—79W satellite (call sign 2861) while it is undergoing in—orbit
testing (IOT) at the 77.5° W.L. orbital location,‘ and thereafter during migration to its
licensed position at 103° W.L. (nominal), from its Winchester, VA earth station (call sign
E150029)." The specific DIRECTV KU—79W TTAC frequencies to be used are 14001
MHz and 14496.5 MHz for telecommand and 11700.75 MHz and 11702.25 MHz for
telemetry. DIRECTV requests that the STA be structured to begin upon arrival of the
satellite at 77.5° 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
KU—79W 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 satellite at 77.5°
    W.L. before moving it to its licensed orbital location. See IBFS File No. SAT—STA—
    20150415—00024.

2   An application for this earth station has been submitted that includes all satellites on
    the Commission‘s Permitted List as points of communication, but that application has
    not yet been acted upon. See SES—LIC—20150408—00198.
