The launch is expected to be on June 8, 2016. 1. All operations must be within the coordinated emission and power limits. 2. The LEOP operations must be coordinated with all operators ofsatellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch May 26, 2015 Page 2 mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 25.5 dBW. The technical information submitted with this STA request reflects a power level as high as 32.8 dBW because Intelsat might operate at this level in the event an emergency necessitates the use of a higher power level in order to command the satellite. 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. Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the BRISat LEOP mission, SSL will serve as the mission manager. SSL will build and send the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which will process and execute the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat will be forwarded to SSL. Intelsat will perform 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 request will allow Intelsat to help launch the BRISat satellite. This, in turn, will result in the provision of C—band and Ku—band coverage of Indonesia and South East Asia from the 105.5° 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. Gra Regulatory Counsel Intelsat Corporation ce: Paul Blais
