Dear Ms. Mullen:

I ampleasedto enclose alicense for the California Polytechnic State University (herein, the
Licensee) to operate a remote sensing satellite in low—Earth orbit designated as "CP—9 LEO."
The license application was subject to a thorough interagency review.

The operational specifications approvedin the license are based on current and expected national
security, foreign policy and commercial conditions. Should these conditions change over the life
ofthe mission, the Licensee may request to have the operational specifications ofthe license
amended pursuant to the regulations. See 15 CFR Part 960.7.

Please keep in mindthe Licensee must notify NOAA in atimely manner of any changes to
information provided to NOAA and relied uponin issuing this license. The Licensee must also
provide to NOAA additional information (launch vehicle, launch location, launch date, foreign
owners, foreign lenders, space segment details, grounds station details, etc.) immediately upon
determination via a standard license amendment application.

In accordance with 15 CFR §.960.8, the Licensee must notify NOAA ofany significant or
substantial foreign agreements that the Licensee intends to enter into no less than 60 days prior to
entering into such agreements.

In accordance with 15 CFR §.960.5, the Licensee must provide a publicly—releasable summary of
the licensed System within 30 days ofthe license issuance.

You are encouragedto engage early with the Joint Space Operating Center(JSpOC) for
exchanging information and establishing formalized communication channels priorto launch.
This would allowthe JSpOC to provide an assessment ofhow to support the owner/operator‘s
     ons and provide recommendations on howto best achieve mission success. Email:
