INTELSAT Envision. Connect. Transform. October 10, 2018 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station KL92 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests an additional 30 days of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”),1 previously granted Intelsat to use its to use its Castle Rock, Colorado Ku-band earth station—call sign KL92—to provide latinch and early orbit phase (“LEOP”) services2 for the SES-12 satellite. SES-12 was launched on June 4, 20l8. Intelsat expects the LEO? period to last approximately 180 days.4 The SES-12 LEOP operations will continue to be performed at the following frequencies: 13998.0 MHz, 13996.5 MHz, 13999.5 MHz, 14494.5 MHz, 14496.0 MHz, 14497.5 MHz, and 14499.0 MHz (CP) in the uplink; and 11499.5 MHz and 11703.5 MHz (CP) in the downlink. The LEO? operations will continue to be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEO? path.5 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. The 24x7 contact information for the SES-12 LEO? mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559-7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525-5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back-up) Intelsat has filed its STA request, FCC Form 159, a $210.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”). 2 See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES-02053, File No. SES-STA-20 180207-00099 (Apr. 18, 2018) (Public Notice). The in-orbit testing location for SES-12, which Intelsat understands is licensed by the Netherlands, will be $ 1.5° E.L. The final location of SES-12 wilt be 95.0° E.L. Intelsat is seeking authority for an additional 30 days to accommodate the longer orbit-raising time period required for an electric propulsion satellite. Airbus, the manager of the $ES-12 LEOP mission, will handle the coordination. Intelsat US LLC 7900 Tysons One P’ace, McLean, VA 22102-5972 USA www.intelsat.com T +1 703-559-6800

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch October 10, 201$ Page 2 Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibits A and B, submitted with its original STA request,6 which contain a coordination report and waiver requests. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat wilt take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. finally, Intetsat clarifies that during the SES-12 LEO? mission, Airbus will serve as the mission manager. Airbus will build and send the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which will process and execute the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat will continue to be forwarded to Airbus. Intelsat will perform the ranging sessions by sending a tone to the spacecraft periodically. Intelsat will remain in control of the baseband unit, RF equipment, and antenna. Grant of this STA extension request will allow Intelsat to continue helping with the launch of the SES-12 satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity from the 95.0° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the pubLic interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA extension request to the undersigned at (703) 559- 6949. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Cynthia I Grady Cynthia J. Grady Regulatory Counsel Intelsat US LLC See supra n. 2.
