Intelsat has a pending 180-day STA request for TT&C services during Intelsat 9’s drift.4 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.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 harn-iful 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. 1 Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Fonn 159, a $210.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”). 2 See, e.g. Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES-02]04, File No. SES-STA-20181001-02910 (Oct. 10, 2018) (Public Notice).
