Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Drift Galaxy 17 from 75.5° W.L. to 74.05° W.L. and Temporarily Operate at 74.05° W.L. Call Sign: $2715 Dear Ms. Dortch: PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 180 days beginning June 28, 2007, to drift Galaxy 17 from 75.5° W.L. to 74.05° W.L. immediately following in—orbit testing and to operate the satellite at 74.05° W.L. to satisfy a customer‘s temporary requirement for service at that location. Galaxy 17 is currently scheduled to be launched on May 3, 2007. In support ofits request, PanAmSat submits the following information. On December 19, 2006, PanAmSat filed an application for authority to launch and operate Galaxy 17 at 91.0° W.L. PanAmSat currently plans to have Galaxy 17 replace Galaxy 11, which is operating at that location. On March 8, 2007, PanAmSat filed a request for temporary authority to operate Galaxy 17 for a short period of time at $1.0° W.L. immediately after launch." On March 19, 2007, PanAmSat filed a request to drift Galaxy 17 from 81.0° W.L. to 75.5° W.L. and conduct in—orbit testing of Galaxy 17 at 75.5° W.L.* Upon receipt of FCC approval and completion of IOT at 75.5° W.L., PanAmSat plans to drift Galaxy 17 from 75.5° W.L. to 74.05° W .L. and temporarily operate the satellite at 74.05° W.L. PanAmSat currently operates the SBS—6 satellite at 74.05 ° W.L. PanAmSat will co—locate Galaxy 17 at nominal 74.0° W.L. and will operate the conventional C— ‘ PanAmSat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $790.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch March 26, 2007 Page 2 and Ku— bands. on the satellite." PanAmSat will operate Galaxy 17 at 74.05° W.L. in conformance with relevant coordination agreements PanAmSat has reached with other administrations regarding operations at the nominal 74.0° W.L. location. In addition, PanAmSat will operate in accordance with the FCC‘s rules designed to allow co—frequency, co—coverage operations in a two— degree spaced environment. As a result of these efforts, PanAmSat‘s operation of Galaxy 17 at the 74.05° W.L. location poses no risk of harmful interference to adjacent operational satellites. Moreover, grant of this STA request will not negatively affect current services at Galax‘y 17s ultimate location —— 91.0° W.L. —— as Galaxy 11‘s expected service life for full CONUS capabilities is June 2009. Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing PanAmSat to satisfy a customer‘s temporary requirement for service at the 74.05° W.L. location. The customer requires this capacity as a result of a delay in the launch of one of customer‘s satellites. ‘ For the reasons set forth herein, PanAmSat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this request. — Sincerely, _ Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation Co: Robert Nelson _ Andrea Kelly Karl Kensinger Jabin Vahora °* Should PanAmSat decide to move SBS—6 outside of the 74.05° W.L. +/— .05 station—keeping box, it will seek prior FCC approval.
