                       E950307, to Perform Tracking, Telemetry, and Control for Intelsat 805 Satellite
                       EXPEDITED TREATMENT REQUESTED

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for
60 days, commencing March 1, 2016, to utilize its Napa, California C—band antenna, E950307, to
conduct Tracking, Telemetry, and Control ("TT&C") for the Intelsat 805 satellite (Call Sign $2404) at
169.0° E.L." Intelsat 805 is expected to arrive on station on March 1, 2016.

The Intelsat 805 TT&C operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 3947.5 MHz,
3948.0 MHz, 3952.0 MHz, 3952.5 MHz, 6173.7 MHz, and 6176.3 MHz. Intelsat has filed an
application to permanently modify the E950307 license to allow for TT&C operations at 169.0° E.L."
Intelsat will perform TT&C operations proposed herein in accordance with its coordination agreements
for 169.0° E.L. and on a non—interference/non—protected basis.

In support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference its pending application for authority to use
this antenna to transmit in these frequencies on a permanent basis." The application contains detailed
technical information (Exhibit A) 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.




‘ 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").
