Applicant: Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. Call Sign: KA25 File No.: SES—STA—20151104—00816 Special Temporary Authority (STA) Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. is granted a STA extension from SES—STA—20150326— 00182, for 30 days, beginning November 18, 2015, to operate its 19—meter antenna earth station, call—sign KA25, in Paumalu, Hawaii to conduct launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) services and provide C—band telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) functions during electric orbit raising and in—orbit testing (IOT) and drift of the Inmarsat—5 F3 satellite at permanent orbital location 179° E.L., licensed by the UK Space Agency ofthe United Kingdom. The in—orbit testing location will be 179° E.L. The LEOP and TT&C operation during the IOT will be under the following conditions: 1. The operation of TT&C will be transmitted on 4199.0 and 4199.5 MHz (space—to— Earth) using linear vertical and circular LH and 5926.5 and 6422.5 MHz (Earth—to—space) linear horizontal and circular RH, 89 dBW maximum EIRP within coordinated emission and powerlimits. 2. All operations shall be on an unprotected and non—harmfulinterference basis, Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc., KA25, shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station and it shall cease transmission(s) immediately upon notice of such interference. 3. All operations under this grant ofspecial temporary authority must be on an unprotected and non—harmfulinterference basis, 7.e., Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. must not cause harmfulinterference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfullyoperating station. 4. In the event of any harmful interference underthis grant of special temporary authority, Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event. 5. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuantto this special temporary authority is solely at Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc.‘s risk. 6.

Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. ("Inmarsat Mobile Networks") hereby requests a 30—day extension of its grant of special temporary authority ("STA") to operate its 19 meter earth station antenna located in Paumalu, Hawaii, Call Sign KA25, to permit C—band telemetry, tracking, and control ("TTAC") communications with the Inmarsat—5 F3 spacecraft ("I5F3") during its Launch and Early Orbit Phases ("LEOP"), electric orbit raising and In—Orbit Testing ("IOT"). The Commission granted STA for these operations for period of 90 days beginning on August 20, 2015. See File No. SES—STA—20150326—00182 (granted Aug. 19, 2015). This STA expires on November 17, 2015. Due to delays in the schedule for launches at the Baikonur facility in Kazakhstan, launch of I5F3 was delayed. As a consequence, the schedule for the subsequent LEOP and IOT activities were also delayed. The satellite has been launched, and IOT at 179° E.L. has commenced. However, testing at that location will not be completed by November 17and is expected to continue until November 21, 2015, when KA25 will be used to provide TTAC for the drift of I5F3 to its ultimate location at 179.6° E.L. See File No. SES— AMD—20150910—00577, Call Sign E150028 (seeking an amendment to the 15F3 market access application to specify the 179.6° E.L. orbital location). Therefore, Inmarsat Mobile Networks respectfully requests an additional 30—day STA until December 17, 2015. Grant of the requested STA extension will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity because it will enable Inmarsat Mobile Networks to provide essential TTAC functions to IS5F3 without creating any risk of harmful interference during the testing and final drift of the satellite to its permanent location. These STA operations have been coordinated with existing spacecraft operators that potentially may be affected. Further, in accordance with normal industry practices, communications with other operators will be kept open throughout LEOP, IOT and drift to ensure that such operations will be conducted on a non—interference basis.
