All operations will be in the 6421.5—6425.0 MHz, and 5850.0—5853.5 MHz (LHCP/ V) (Earth—to— space) frequency bands and on the following center frequencies: 4197.75 MHz, 4189.25 MHz, 4198.75 MHz, and 4199.25 MHz (LHCP/H) (space—to—Earth). All operations are authorized under the following conditions: 1. Operations will not exceed the operation power levels and parameters requested and coordinated. 2. Intelsat will coordinate the proposed IOT operations at IOT location 17.5° W.L. with operators ofco—frequencysatellites within six degrees. During the drift from 17.5° W.L. to the satellite‘s permanent orbital location 18° W.L., Intelsat will coordinate with operators ofco— frequencysatellites in the drift path. 3. The LEOP operations must be coordinated with all operators ofsatellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path. All operators ofsatellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone numberwhere the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs.

Intelsat 37e is now expected to be launched on September 29, 2017." The LEOP, IOT, and drift are expected to last approximately 70 days. The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies and frequency bands: 6421.5—6425.0 MHz, and 5850.0—5853.5 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 proposed operations will 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"). * See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01985, File No. SES—STA— 20170804—00874 (Aug. 23, 2017) (Public Notice). * The permanent orbital location for Intelsat 37e will be at 18.0° W.L.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch September 26, 2017 Page 2 The 24x7 contact information for the Intelsat 37e 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. In further support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to help launch and test the Intelsat 37e satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity to customers at the 18.0° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
