        Re:       Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                  Hagerstown, Maryland Earth Station KA25$

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests an additional 30 days of Special Temporary
Authority (“STA”)1 to use its Hagerstown, Maryland Ku-band earth station—call sign KA258—to
provide telemetry, tracking, and command (“TT&C”) services2 for Intelsat 5 (Call Sign S2704) on
station at 137.0° W.L.3 ntelsat 5 arrived at 137.0° W.L. on May 30, 20l8.

TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequencies: 14498 MHz (H) and
13999 MHz (RHCP) in the uplink; and 11451 MHz (H, V, and RHCP), 11452 MHz (H, V, and
RHCP), and 11454 MHz (RHCP, and LHCP) in the downlink. On-station at 137.0° W.L., Intelsat
will continue operate in conformance with FCC rules and any relevant coordination agreements.

In further support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A submitted with its
original STA request,5 which contains technical information that demonstrates that the operation of


           has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $210.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter
electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”).

the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful
interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility, or into federal systems operating in the
13.75-14.00 GHz band. 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to continue safely station-keep Intelsat 5 at its
new location. This, in turn, will help meet a new service demand at the 137.0° W.L. orbital location
and thereby promotes the public interest.

Please direct any questions regarding this STA further extension request to the undersigned at (703)
559-6949.

Respectfully submitted,
