The Galaxy 25 TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequencies: 5926.5 MHz and 6423.5 MFIz in the uplink; and 4195.5 MHz and 4199.5 in the downlink. The drift operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the drift path.4 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 Intelsat 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”). 2 See Satellite Communications Services Information, Actions Taken, Report No. SES-02 169, SES STA-20 190510-00586 (June 5, 2019) (Public Notice).

Dortch June 28, 2019 Page 2 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. The 24x7 contact information for the drift of Galaxy 25 is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559-7701 East Coast Operations Center (primary) — (310) 525-5591 —West Coast Operations Center (back-up) Request to speak with Harry Bumham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith incorporates the technical information submitted with the most recent application to modify the E000296 license,5 which contains technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the antenna will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its antennas, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA extension request will allow Intelsat to continue drifting Galaxy 25 to its new location. This, in turn, will allow Intelsat to provide new capacity from the 32.9° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this STA extension request. Please direct any questions regarding this request to (703) 559-6949.
