INTELSAT. Envision. Connect. Transform. January 5, 2018 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station KL92 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, commencing February 14, 2018, to use its Castle Rock, Colorado Ku—band earth station—call sign KL92—to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for the Hispasat 1F satellite. Hispasat 1F is expected to launch on February 14, 2018." Intelsat expects the LEOP period to last approximately 30 days. The Hispasat 1F LEOP operations will be performed at the following frequencies: 13249.0 MHz and 13997.5 MHz (RHCP) in the uplink; and 10701.0 MHz and 11448.0 MHz (RHCP) in the downlink. The LEOP operations will be coordinated 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. The 24x7 contact information for the Hispasat 1F LEOP mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith attaches Exhibits A, B, and C which contain a coordination report, 13 GHz report, and waiver requests. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, FCC Form 159, a $200.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). * The in—orbit testing location for Hispasat 1F, which Intelsat understands is licensed by Spain, will be 26.0° W.L. The final location of Hispasat 1F will be 30.0° W.L. 3 SSL, the manager of the Hispasat 1F LEOP mission, will handle the coordination. Intelsat Corporation 7900 Tysons One Place, Mclean, VA 22102—5972 USA www.intelsat.com T +1 703—559—6800

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch January 5, 2018 Page 2 Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the Hispasat 1F LEOP mission, SSL will serve as the mission manager. SSL will build and send the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which will process and execute the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat will be forwarded to SSL. 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 Hispasat 1F. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity from the 30.0° W .L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
