         Re:      Request for Special Temporary Authority
                  Paumalu, Hawaii Earth Station E120008


Dear Ms. Dortch:


Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests 180 days, commencing upon grant, of Special
Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ to use its Paumalu, Hawaii Ku—band earth station—call sign
E120008—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services for Intelsat 1R (S2368)
on—station at 157.1° E.L." Intelsat intends to file a permanent modification application to add
Intelsat 1R as a point of communication in the near future.

TT&C operations will be performed in the following frequencies: 14498.5 MHz (Earth—to—space);
and 11696 MHz and 11697 MHz (space—to—Earth). The proposed TT&C operations at 157.1° E.L. .
will be consistent with Intelsat‘s coordination agreements for the nominal 157° E.L. orbital location.
In the unlikely event that harmful interference occurs, Intelsat will take all necessary steps to
eliminate the interference.

Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to continue to safely station—keep the satellite at its new
location.* This, in turn, will help Intelsat provide service at the 157.1° E.L. orbital location and
thereby promotes the public interest.




‘ 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 Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01263, File No. SAT—STA—
20170626—00100 (Aug. 25, 2017) (Public Notice).

* Intelsat is currently providing TT&C services with this antenna to Intelsat 1R at 157.1° E.L.
pursuant to a 30—day STA. See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—02007,
