EchoStar Operating L.L.C. is granted special temporary authority (STA) for 30 days, beginning December
14, 2017,to operate its Cheyenne, WY earth station with the EchoStar 18 satellite ($2931) at the 109.9°
W.L. orbital location to provide telemetry, tracking, and control ("TT&C") and feeder link
communications during EchoStar 18‘s temporary relocation and operations at 109.9° W.L. orbital
location. Feederlink operations are authorized in the 12.2—12.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 17.3—17.8 GHz
(Earth—to—space) frequency bands. Telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) are authorized on the

maximum power limits indicated in existing or future coordination agreements at 109.9° W.L. Non—
conforming operations must also be coordinated with respect to those operations of non—U.5.—licensed
