Operations are limited to frequency bands 17.3-17.8 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 12.2-12.7 GHz; and for Telemetry, Tracking & Command (“TT&C”) 17.789 GHz and 17.791 GHz (space-to-Earth) & 12.697 and 12.698 GHz (space-to- Earth) underthefollowing conditions: 1. All operations under this grant of special temporary authority shall be on an unprotected and non-harmful interference basis. DIRECTV shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radio communication system. 2. In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of special temporary authority, DIRECTV must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event. 3. All operators of satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs, Currently the 24x7 contact information for the 116 satellite is Ph.: (310) -429-1624. Ask for Steve Dulac. 4. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at EchoStar’s risk. 5. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding pending or future DIRECTV applications. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commissions rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, and is effective immediately.

EXHIBIT 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) respectfully requests a grant of earth station special temporary authority (“STA”)1 for 30 days to operate its Castle Rock, Colorado earth station (Call Sign E930304) to support in-orbit testing (“101”) of the T16 satellite (Call Sign S3039) at 134.75° W.L. DIRECTV requests that this special temporary authority commence upon arrival of T16 at 134.75° W.L., which is currently anticipated to be on or about June 29, 2019—nine days after the satellite’s scheduled launch on June 20, 2019. The lOT period is expected to last approximately three weeks, and the subsequent drift to T 16’s requested permanent orbital location of 100.85° W.L.2 is expected to last approximately seven weeks.3 DIRECTV separately and simultaneously is requesting space station special temporary authority to conduct lOT of the T16 satellite at 134.75° W.L. to drift the satellite to its requested permanent location of 100.85° W.L. The range of earth station frequencies requested to support lOT of the 116 satellite at 134.75° W.L. are the following: DBS Ku-band • 12.2-12.7 GHz (space-to-Earth); and • 17.3-17.8 GHz (Earth-to-space). 1 DIRECTV has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, and a $210.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System. 2 Although 116 is currently authorized to operate at 102.70° W.L., DIRECTV has filed a modification application to change 116’s authorized orbital location from 102.70° W.L. to 100.85° W.L. See Modfication Application to Change T16 Orbital Location (S3039), File No. SAT-MOD-201 90508-0003 6. DIRECTV intends to file STA extension requests to cover any testing that exceeds 30 days from 116’s arrival at 134.75° W.L. 1

Telemetry, Tracking, and Command • 12697 MHz and 12698 MHz (space-to-Earth); and • 17789 MHz and 17791 MHz (Earth-to-space). The 24/7 emergency contact information is as follows: Steve Dulac at (310) 429-1624. Grant of this earth station STA request is in the public interest because it will facilitate lOT of 116’s payloads at 134.75° Wi., a critical step in ensuring that the satellite will be fully operational. Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests that the Commission grant this request. 2
