Re:      Request for Special Temporary Authority
         Filmore, California Earth Station KA391

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30
days, commencing upon grant, to use its Filmore, California C—band earth station—call sign KA391—to
provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services to Intelsat 805 at its permanent location
of 169.0° E.L. Intelsat plans shortly to permanently modify its KA391 license to support Intelsat 805
TT&C services at 169.0° E.L.

The proposed Intelsat 805 TT&C operations would be performed at the following frequencies: 6173.7
MHz and 6176.3 MHz (CP) in the uplink, and 3947.5 MHz, 3948.0 MHz, 3952.0 MHz, and 3952.5
MHz (RHCP) in the downlink.

Intelsat will provide technical information demonstrating that the operation of the earth station will be
compatable with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any
lawfully operating terrestrial facility as part of its application to permanently modify its KA391 license
to include Intelsat 805 as an authorized point of communication. 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 request will allow Intelsat to safely station—keep the satellite at 169.0° E.L. orbital
location and thereby promotes the public interest.
