Intelsat License LLC is granted a STA extension from SES—STA—20151222—00969,for 30
days, beginning February 5, 2016, to operate its C—band earth station, call sign E4132, in
Fillmore, California, to conduct telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services for
Intelsat 805 satellite ($2404) 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.

2. During the drift from 55.5 W.L. to the satellite‘s permanent orbital location 169° E.L.,
Intelsat will coordinate with operators of co—frequency satellites in the drift path.

3. All operators of satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the
licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs, Currently the 24x7
contact information for the Intelsat 805 mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East

claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radio
communication system.

5. In the event of any harmfulinterference under this grant of STA, Intelsat License LLC
E4132 must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and
must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event.

6. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the
Commission may make regarding pending or future Intelsat License LLC applications.

7. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA
                                                                                       is

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.

for Intelsat 805 ($S2404)° 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, 3952.0 MHz, 3952.5 MHz, 6173.7 MHz, and 6176.3 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)
