In further support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A submitted with its original STA request, 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. 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. Grant of this STA request will help ensure safe station—keeping of the SKY—B1 satellite and continuity of service at the 43.15° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
