1. CcoNcLUusions An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment. Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations. # F.reque‘ncy Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 01/06/2006 . Page 3 of 10

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line—of—sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the S|gnal levels to acceptable magmtudesin every case. The following companies reported potential great circlé interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line—of—sight basis. When over—the—horizon losses are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful mterference from — occurring with the proposed transmit—receive earth station.

Exhibit B Radiation Hazard Report Page 1 of 5 Analysis of Non—lonizing Radlatlon for a 2.4—Meter Earth Station System This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—meter earth station system. The analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled | envuronment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge > and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs. | \Table 1.

FarField Distance Calculation The distance to the beginning of thefar field can be determined from the following equation: Distance to the Far Field Region: ~ _R =0.60 D7X > (1) — . = 345.6 m ' The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following equation: On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field _ \o . S¢g =G6GP/(MIRg) (2) | ‘ = 19.215 W/m* = 1.922 mW/cm* 2. Near Field Calculation Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the. antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance. ' The distancevto the end of the Near Field can be determih‘éd from the following equation: Extent of the Near Field e Ra = D/ (4 2) 20 (3)° - . = 144.0 m The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined frbm the followingequation: | ‘Near Field Power Density > ' Si = 16.0 1 P / (1 D3 (4) . | | ' ‘ = 44.856 W/m* | = 4486 mW/icm* _ 3. _ Transition Region Calculation The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density | begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases— inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power denéity in the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following equation: ' j f ' * Transition Reégion Power Density S = Sr Ra/R . (5) - = 4.486 mW/cm*

Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors: The energy between the feed assembly and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly surface. This can be determmed from the foIIowmg equation: Power Density at the Feed Flange S; = 4000 P / Agj (6) . = 1410.792 mW/cm* ' | 5. _ Main Reflector Region The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at the feed assembly.

. . Exhibit B Radiation Hazard Report — Page 5 of 5 8. —> Conclusions Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) Environments. The antenna will be installed at Intelsat LLC‘s teleport facility in Clarksburg, Maryland. The teleport is a gated and fenced facility with secured access in and around the proposed antenna. The earth station will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in the vicinity of the earth station to inform those in the general population, who might be workmg or — otherwise present in or near the direct path of the main beam. The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one diameter removed from the center of the main beam thelevels are down at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, these potential hazards do not exist for either the public, or for earth station personnel. Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off ‘during periods of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Clarksburg, Maryland Ka—band Earth Station, E040286 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat LLC ("‘Intelsat") herein requests Special Temporary Authority‘ for 11 days, from April 11, 2006 through April 21, 2006, to use its Clarksburg, Maryland Ka— band earth station, E040286, to conduct repeat in—orbit testing ("IOT") of the Spainsat satellite for two days within that time period. As the Commission is aware, Intelsat recently conducted in—orbit testing of the Spainsat satellite‘s Ka—band payload pursuant to STA.‘ However, as explained below, Intelsat now seeks to conduct further testing of that payload. As explained in the initial STA request, Intelsat has a contract with Space Systems Loral ("Loral"), the manufacturer of the Spainsat satellite, to conduct IOT services for the satellite‘s Ka—band payload. The satellite was launched successfully on March 11, 2006 and Intelsat performed IOT of the satellite‘s Ka—band payload between March 30, 2006 and April 4, 2006 at the 30.3° W.L. orbital location." Intelsat notified the FCC, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") and the Office of the Secretary of Defense ("DOD") on Apr114, 2006 that testing had concluded, and the STA became void, per its terms.* ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $155.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). 2 See Satellite Communications Services Information; Re: Actions Taken, Rept. No. SES— 00797, File No. SES—STA—20060131—00188 (Feb.17, 2006) (Public Notice) (granting STA from March 6, 2006 through April 2, 2006 to conduct Ka—band IOT for the Spainsat satellite); Satellite Communications Services Information; Re: Actions Taken, Rept. No. SES—00809, File No. SES—STA—20060321—00474 (Apr. 5, 2006) (Public Notice) (granting extension of the STA through May 2, 2006). * The satellite‘s permanent orbital position will be 30.0° W.L., where the satellite will operate against the ITU filings of Spain. It is Intelsat‘s understanding that the satellite is licensed by Spain. * Condition No. 1 of both the original STA and extension stated that the STA would become void no later than five days after testing began.

Subsequent to completion of the testing, Loral checked the test results and raised concerns about the validity of some of the data. Specifically, there are errors in the data that create uncertainty concerning the performance of the satellite‘s Ka—band transponder. Accordingly, Loral has asked Intelsat to repeat some of the tests of that transponder. Loral has asked that those re—tests be conducted between April 11 and April 21, 2006. As noted above, the re—testing is expected to last two days. In support of its STA request, Intelsat provides the same package of additional information as was included in its original STA request. This includes Schedule S technical information relating solely to the Ka—band IOT services that Intelsat will be performing, as well as the relevant coordination information. In addition, Intelsat again requests a waiver of the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations. The detailed technical information provided demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interferenceé into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility. In addition, as previously noted, there is no commercial satellite operating in Ka—band within +/— 10 degrees of the 30.3° W.L. orbital location. With respect to potential interference into the > operations of non—commercial satellites, Intelsat and Loral are coordinating the Ka—band IOT re—tests with the NTIA and DOD. In the extremely unlikely eventthat harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Moreover, Intelsat would agree to have the Commission place conditions on the STA identical to those included in the grants of the initial STA and its extension. Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat to re—test the Ka—bandpayload on the Spainsat satellite, thereby serving the public interest in ensuring the successful * operation of the new satellite, which is expectedto be used to support the military operations of both Spain and the United States. . Please direct any questions regardlng this STA request to the under51gned at (202) 944—7848. . Respectfully submitted, @LJJAC’/«AMQ—& Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel Intelsat Global Service Corporation
