             REQUEST TO EXTEND SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

               By this application, Hawaii Pacific Teleport, L.P. (“HPT”) respectfully requests

an extension of its earth station special temporary authority (“STA”) for an additional 30 days,

beginning on or about July 15, 2016, to permit HPT to continue to use its E030115 earth station

to provide Tracking, Telemetry and Command (“TT&C”) to the ASTRA 3A spacecraft as it

continues its relocation to 86.85° W.L.

               HPT currently provides teleport services to SES Americom, Inc. and was

authorized to provide TT&C services to ASTRA 3A during its relocation to 86.85° W.L. for a
                  1
period of 30 days. SES Americom, Inc. has requested HPT to continue providing TT&C for the

spacecraft until August 14, 2016, while SES Americom conducts adjustments to another earth

station authorized to provide TT&C services for ASTRA 3A. The request to use HPT’s earth

station beyond the original authorization term is made out of an abundance of caution to ensure

redundant TT&C services for the spacecraft. HPT requests that the 30-day extension be

authorized under the same conditions as the original STA grant.
