Ms. Marlene H. Dortch March 8, 2016 Page 2 Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this further extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibits A — C submitted with its original request, which contain a 13.75 — 14.0 GHz analysis and waiver requests. Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the SES—9 LEOP mission, Boeing will continue to serve as the mission manager. Boeing builds and sends the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which processes and executes the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat is forwarded to Boeing. Intelsat performs the ranging sessions by sending a tone to the spacecraft periodically. Intelsat will remain in control of the baseband unit, RF equipment, and antenna. Grant of this STA extension request will allow Intelsat to help continue launching the SES—9 satellite. This, in turn, will help will provide additional capacity at the 108.2° 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, Cynthia J. Grady Regulatory Counsel Intelsat Corporation co: Paul Blais
