Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the Echostar—21 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Echostar—21 satellite. This, in turn, will help provide services at the 10.25° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
