                           Request for Special Temporary Authority
                                          Intelsat 604
Intelst North America LLC (‘Intelsa"), pursuant to 25.120 ofthe FCC‘s rules,‘requests Special
Temporery Authority (°STA")" for 30 days, from January 30, 2006 to March 1, 2006, to stop the
deif ofINTELSAT 604 and operate in inclined orbitat 177.85° EL. Intelsat curently holds
authority to relocate and operate the INTELSAT 604 satelite i inclined orbitat the 178° EL.
orbite location:" Pursuant to tat authority, the INTELSAT 604 satelite is currently drifiing,
and is quite close, to the 178° EL. orbitl location.
Stopping the drif of INTELSAT 604 at 177.85° EL. and subsequent operation in thatlocation
will serve the public interest by accommodating a co—locationcoordination agreement with
Inmarsat and allowing Intelsat flexbility to achieve a safe and efficient station keeping of the
INTELSAT 604 satelite with an Inmarsatsatellte located at the 178.1° E.L. orbital location.

Operation ofINTELSAT 604 at177.85° EL, rather than 178.0° E.L., poses norisk ofharmful
interference to other satellites operating at nearby orbital locations in the same frequencies
Forthe reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission prompily
grant this request
