Intelsat License LLC is granted a STA extension from SES—STA—20151222—00964, for 30
days, beginning February 6, 2016, to operate its C—band earth station, call sign EO00363,
in Fillmore, California, to conduct telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services
for Intelsat 805 satellite (S2404) to drift the space station from the 55.5° W.L. orbital
location to the 169° E.L. under the following conditions:

1. Intelsat will perform the operations in the uplink frequencies (Earth—to—space): 6173.70
MHz and 6176.30 MHz and the downlink frequencies (space—to—Earth): 3947.50 MHz,
3948.00 MHz, 3952.00 MHz and 3952.50 MHz, within coordinated emission and power
limits.

         Re:      Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                  Fillmore, California Earth Station EO0O0363

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days, beginning February 5, 2016, of
the Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its Fillmore, California C—
band earth station—call sign E000363—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C")
services for Intelsat 805 ($2404)° during its drift from 55.5° W.L. to 169.0° E.L." Intelsat 805 began
drifting on January 4, 2016. The drift is expected to take approximately three months.

TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequencies: 3947.5 MHz, 3948.0
MHz, 3950 MHz, 3952.0 MHz, 3952.5 MHz, 6173.7 MHz, 6176.3 MHz and 12501 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.




‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $195.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter

In further support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A submitted with its original
STA, which contains technical information that demonstrates 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. 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.

Grant of this STA further extension request will allow Intelsat to drift the Intelsat 805 satellite to its new
location. This, in turn, will help satisfy customer demand at 169.0° E.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,
