         Re:      Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                  Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station E030096

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days—December 16, 2015 through
January 14, 2016—of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its
Castle Rock, Colorado Ku—band earth station—call sign EQ30096—to provide telemetry, tracking, and
command ("TT&C") services for Galaxy 11 ($2253) during its drift from 55.6° W.L. to 60.1° EL
Galaxy 11 began drifting on December 2, 2015. The drift is expected to take approximately six months.

TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequencies: 14000.5 MHz, 14498.5
MHz, 11701 MHz, and 11702 MHz. The drift operations will be coordinated with all operators of
satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the drift 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 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.

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 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").

Grant of this STAextension request will allow Intelsat to continue to drift the Galaxy 11 satellite to its
new location. This,in turn, will allowIntelsat to meet a temporary customer demand at 60.1° EL. and
thereby promotes the public interest.
