The Amazonas—5 LEOP operations will be performed at the following frequencies: 13999.5 MHz and 14499.5 MHz (Linear H, V, LHCP) in the uplink; and 12202.25 MHz and 11701.0 MHz (Linear H, V, RHCP) in the downlink. The LEOP operatnons will be coordmated 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 Amazonas—5 LEOP 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. ‘ 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 in—orbit testing location for Amazonas—5, which Intelsat understands is licensed by Brazil, will be at 58.2° W.L. The final location of Amazonas—5 will be at 61.0° W.L. * Intelsat is seeking 30 days of STA to accommodate potential launch delays. * SSL, the manager of the Amazonas—5 LEOP mission, will handle the coordination.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch August 24, 2017 Page 2 In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith attaches Exhibits A and B, which contain a 13 GHz report and a waiver request. 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. Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the Amazonas—5 LEOP 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 request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Amazonas—5 satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity from the 61.0° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
