Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Fillmore, California Earth Station E4132 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, commencing August 28, 2016, to use its Fillmore, California C—band earth station—call sign E4132—to provide launch and early orbit phase (“LEOP”) services for the InSat—3DR satellite. InSat— 3DR is expected to be launched August 28, 2016." The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 10 days.* The InSat—3DR LEOP operations will be performed in the following frequency bands: 6415.00 MHz and 6419.32 MHz in the uplink (RHCP), and 4190.976 MHz and 4196.928 MHz in the downlink (CP). The LEOP operanons will be coordmated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP 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 for the InSat—3DR LEOP mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this request, Intelsat hereby attaches Exhibits A and B, which contain technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its ‘ 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"). * The permanent orbital location for InSat—3DR, which Intelsat understands is licensed by India, will be at 74.0° E.L.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch August 1, 2016 Page 2 electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility, as well as a waiver request. Intelsat also notes that for purposes of the InSat—3DR LEOP mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 26.0 dBW. The technical information submitted with this STA request reflects a power level as high as 34.5 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 InSat—3DR LEOP mission, ISRO will serve as the mission manager. ISRO 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 ISRO, 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 InSat—3DR satellite. This, in turn, will result in the provision of a new weather satellite from the 74.0° E.L. orbital location thereby promotes the public interest.
