The proposed TT&C operations at 34.5° W.L. will be consistent with Intelsat‘s coordination agreements for the nominal 34.5° W.L. orbital location. In the unlikely event that harmful interference occurs, Intelsat will take all necessary steps to eliminate the interference. In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith 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. 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 allow Intelsat to help launch and test the Intelsat 35e satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity to customers at the 34.5° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
