               Dear Ms. Dortch:

               Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30
               days — from July 16, 2012 through August 14, 2012 — of the
               Special Temporary Authority ("STA") ‘ previously granted Intelsat
               to utilize a 9.2m Ka—band antenna located at its Riverside, CA
               teleport to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services,
               as well as provide TT&C services temporarily during the IOT
               phase, to the EchoStar XVII satellite (/k/a Jupiter—1 and
               SPACEWAY—4), which was launched on July 5, 20122
               The EchoStar XVII LEOP operations will continue to be performed
               in the following frequency bands: 28.351 GHz and 28.353 GHz
               (uplink) and 19.7005 GHz and 19.7025 GHz (downlink).

               The LEOP operations will be coordinated with all operators of
               satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP


               ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00
               filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the
               International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS").

               00421 (June 20, 2012) (Public Notice). EchoStar XVII will be in—
               orbit tested at 107.1° W.L., which is the satellite‘s permanent
               orbital location. The satellite originally was licensed by the United
               Kingdom and had been authorized to serve the United States. See
               Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00687,

               EchoStar recently applied and was granted authority to license the
               satellite through the United States. See Policy Branch Information;

path." All operators of satellites in that path will be provided with
an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in
the event that harmful interference occurs.

The 24x7 contact information for the EchoStar XVII LEOP mission
is as follows:

Ph.: (202) 944—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary)
     (310) 525—5900 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up)
     Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell.

In support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by
reference the exhibits submitted with its original STA request,
which include a waiver request, as well as detailed technical
information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station
will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will
not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating facility.
In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should
occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the
interference.

In further support of this extension request, Intelsat notes that for
purposes of the EchoStar XVII LEOP mission, it is seeking to
operate in the frequencies listed above at the nominal power level
of 88 dBW. As noted above, the transmissions proposed herein
will be coordinated with potentially affected operators of co—
frequency satellites. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful
interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to
eliminate the interference.

Grant of this STA extension request will enable Intelsat to help
launch the EchoStar XVII satellite. This will serve the public
interest by providing additional broadband service to consumers in
the United States.




> Space Systems Loral, the manufacturer of the EchoStar XVII
satellite and the manager of its LEOP mission, will do the
coordination.
