Washington, D.C. 20554 INTELSAT Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Conduct In-Orbit Testing of IS 11 I Call Sign: S2237 Dear Ms. Dortch: I I PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests a grant of Special I Temporary Authority ("STA")' for 60 days, from September 28,2007 through November 26,2007, to conduct in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11 at 47.5" W.L. in the conventional C- and Ku- bands before moving the satellite to its permanent location. Intelsat 11 is currently scheduled to be launched on September 21, 1 i I j 2007. In support of its request, PanAmSat submits the following information. On February 7,2007, PanAmSat filed an application for authority to launch and operate Intelsat 11 as a replacement satellite at 43.0" W.L.2 On July 16, 2007, PanAmSat amended that application to revise the orbital location to 43.1O W.L.3 Intelsat 11 will replace Intelsat 6B, which currently is operating at 73-95" W.L. During in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11, PanAmSat will operate in the conventional i C- and Ku-bands. PanAmSat has coordinated, or is in the process of ~ coordinating, the planned in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11 with all operators of I satellites operating co-frequency up to six degrees away from 47.5" W.L. I Specifically, PanAmSat has coordinated with Inmarsat, the operator of Inmarsat i I I 4 F2 located at 53.0" W.L. and is coordinating with the US. Air Force, the operator of the TDRS 1 and TDRS 4 satellites located at 49.0" W.L. and 46.0" W.L., respectively. The only other satellites operating co-frequency up to six 1 degrees away fkom 47.5" W.L. are operated by PanAmSat or its affiliated company, Intelsat North America LLC. .Inthe unlikely event that h1- II PanAmSat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $790.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau's Filing System. ~ I I See Policy Branch Information; Satellite Space Applications Acceptedfor I Filing, Report No. SAT-00428, File No. SAT-RPL-20070207-00027 (Mar. 23, I 2007) (Public Notice).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch August 2,2007 Page 2 interference occurs, PaflAmSat will take all necessary steps to eliminate the interference. The in-orbit testing of Intelsat 11 at 47.5" W.L. is a critical step in ensuring that the satellite will be fully operational at 43.1"W.L. This, in turn, will ensure I continuity of existing services at the nominal 43.0" W.L. location, and thereby ! I promote the public interest. ~ I For the reasons set forth herein, PaflAmSat respectfully requests that the I Commission grant this request. I ' Sincerely, I L Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Corporation Cc: Robert Nelson . . Karl Kensinger Andrea Kelly Jabin Vahora
