        Re:      Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                 Mountainside, Maryland Earth Station E140121

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days of Special Temporary Authority
\ oim j, previvusy granted Intelsat to continue using its Mountainside, Maryland Ku—band earth
station—call sign E140121—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services* for
Intelsat 9 (Call Sign $2380) during its drift from 29.5° W.L. to 66.15° E.L. Intelsat 9 began drifting on
May 22, 2018, and the drift is expected to take approximately eight months.

Intelsat has a pending 180—day STA request for TT&C services during Intelsat 9‘s drift.*

TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequencies: 14.0005 GHz and 14.4945
GHz in the uplink; and 11.7005 GHz and 11.702 GHz in the downlink. The drift operations will
continue to be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in
the drift 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. 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.




‘ 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").
