The LEOP, IOT, and drift are expected to last approximately 30 days. The Intelsat 35e operations will continue to be performed using the following frequencies: 6424.5 MHz, and 5853.0 MHz in the uplink (LHCP/V); and 4197.75 MHz, 4198.25 MHz, 4198.75 MHz, and 4199.25 MHz in the downlink (LHCP/H). The Intelsat 35e operations will continue to be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path, the drift path, or are potentially affected by these operations at the IOT location." All operators of potentially affected satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $200.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). * The permanent orbital location for Intelsat 35e will be at 34.5° W.L. See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01191, SAT—LOA—20160408—00034 (Oct. 7, 2016) (Public Notice). The in—orbit testing location will be 33.0° W.L.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch July 19, 2017 Page 2 The 24x 7 contact information for the Intelsat 35e 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. The Intelsat 35e 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 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to continue to 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.
