The LEOP operatlons will be coordmated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP 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.

Intelsat will perform the ranging sessions by sending a tone to the spacecraft periodically. Intelsat will remain in control of the baseband unit, RF equipment, and antenna. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Eutelsat—8WB satellite. This, in turn, will help provide new services at the 8.0° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
