Intelsat 33e is expec3ted to be launched on August 24, 2016." The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 15 days. The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 6722.00 MHz, 6424.5 7 MHz, 5850.5 MHz, and 5853.0 MHz in the uplink (LHCP/V); and 4197.25 MHz, 4197.75 MHz, e opparsore epopiroimrrromermrennyennon 4198.25 MHz, and 4198.75 MHz in the downlink (LHCP/V). The LEOP operations will be coordinated 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 Intelsat 33e mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $195.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter Mio s electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). The permanent orbital location for Intelsat 33e will be at 60.0° E.L. See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01139, File No. SAT—LOA—20150327—00016 (Feb. 26, 2016) (Public Notice). The in—orbit testing location will be 59.55° E.L.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch August 1, 2016 Page 2 Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this request, Intelsat hereby attaches Exhibit A, which contains technical information 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. Intelsat also notes that for purposes of the Intelsat 33e LEOP mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 20.9.dBW. The technical information submitted with this STA request reflects a power level as high as 35.5 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 interferenceshould occur due to transmissions toor from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch and test the Intelsat 33e satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity to customers at the 60.0° 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
