                     Request For Extension of Special Temporary Authority

By this application, United Teleports Inc. respectfully requests extension of Special Temporary
Authority (“STA”) for 30 days to operate E160081. STA was granted on June 22, 2018 (SES-
STA-20180613-01096) to allow United Teleports Inc. to support SES Americom, Inc (“SES”) in
the communication with ASTRA 1D spacecraft in order to provide Tracking, Telemetry and
Command (“TT&C”) while the spacecraft is positioned at 73.0 degrees West ( +/- 0.10 degrees
East/West station keeping).

SES was previously granted an STA for TT&C operation of ASTRA 1D under SES-STA-
20180129-00069 on Call Sign E110104. The operations proposed with United Teleports 7 meter
Ku-band antenna will be identical to the authorization granted for SES for TT&C with ASTRA
1D.

Grant of this request is in the public interest as the requested TT&C authority will facilitate the
safe operation of ASTRA 1D.

UNITED TELEPORTS E160081 Earth Station will be used as a secondary, back-up TT&C
Earth Station, only for the reception of telemetry from the spacecraft and as back up for
transmission of commands if needed.

Technical parameters remain identical to those granted in the current STA. Additionally, United
Teleports Inc. intends to file a license application to request permanent authorization for these
operations.
