Re: PanAmSat Licensee Corp
File No. SAT-STA-20070802-00109
(Call Sign: S2237)
Dear Ms. Crandall:
This letter refers to the above-referenced application filed by PanAmSat Licensee Corp.
(PanAmSat). In that application, PanAmSat seeks, among other things, special temporary 
authority to perform in-orbit testing for its Intelsat 11 satellite at the 47.5° W.L. orbital location in 
the “conventional Ku-band” for a period of 60 days.1  (The “conventional Ku-band” refers to the 
11.7-12.2 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz frequencies.)  For the reason set forth below, we dismiss
PanAmSat’s request to conduct in-orbit testing in the conventional Ku-band frequencies.
On October 4, 2007, we granted PanAmSat’s modification application, as amended, to 
construct, launch, and operate its Intelsat 11 satellite at the 43.1° W.L orbital location in the 
3700-4200 MHz, 5925-6425 MHz, 10.70-11.45 GHz, 12.75-13.25 GHz, and 13.75-14.00 GHz 
frequency bands.2  In that application, PanAmSat did not request authority to operate Intelsat 11 
in the 11.7-12.2 GHz or the 14.0-14.5 GHz bands, nor did it indicate that the satellite is capable 
of operating in these bands.   
  
1 PanAmSat also sought authority to conduct IOT in the conventional C-band.  That portion of the request 
is being granted contemporaneously with the letter.   See PanAmSat, Request for Special Temporary 
Authority to Conduct In-Orbit Testing of IS-11, partially authorized by grant stamp, Int'l Bur., Sat. Div. 
(Oct. 5, 2007).
2 IBFS File Nos. SAT-MOD-20070207-00027, SAT-AMD-20070716-00102, authorized by grant stamp, 
Int'l Bur., Sat. Div. (Oct. 4, 2007).

Because we cannot authorize PanAmSat to operate on frequency bands not incorporated 
on its satellite, we dismiss as unacceptable for filing, pursuant to Section 0.261 of the 
Commission’s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, the portion of PanAmSat’s STA 
request seeking to conduct IOT in the conventional Ku-band.
Sincerely,
Robert G. Nelson
